was by all accounts a guru) and his peers.  Electronics in its more
esoteric and theoretical aspects resembles a religion.

No real point to this post, other than to give a hat's off to y'all.

That's nice.

Of course, none of that has anything to do with the kind of work that
electricians do. Perhaps you meant you're in awe of electronics engineers?

I'm in awe of electricians that work on 750kv power lines. I wouldn't
go near it even if my cheap DMM read zero..
