A number of us have tried the "let's explain this one step at a time approach". Andy has a lot more faith/perserverance than others. We have been around the loop with IMM a few times now over a number of subjects, it's usually good for a laugh for everyone else.

Stick to replacing the diverter valve on Vaillents. Best leave the thinking to others.

'Zone valves, etc' require a basic understanding of electricity to install. Guess why our resident 'expert' doesn't like them...

It is interesting to watch in a way, but he seems to live in a world totally governed by "rules of thumb". If he does not have one to hand for the topic, then he will just grab one from the nearest web page, and then cling to it for all he is worth, even when clearly it's way beyond reason. I suppose it might be a result of a complete lack of analytical / scientific reason, or perhaps even a lack of basic mathematical ability. Hence a rule of thumb is a simple way to overcome some of these limitations that does not require taxing thought, vis:
Not able work out the actual pipe sizes required for your gas feed based on flow resistances and pressure drops? apply rule "Install 22mm direct to meter"
Don`t understand heat loss calcs? apply rule "you need 400mm of insulation and tin foil under your tiles".
and so on...
Even uses if for politics: Difficulty applying observational reason or historical precedent to political situations? apply rule of thumb "All political ills can be solved by sticking with Tone"
Had you latest bright idea torn to shreds on usenet? apply rule "Snip rational argument from post, and replace with insult or non sequitur, hope no one notices!"

The three above posts really did cause me to LOL making my colleagues turn to look. I considered trying to explain the joke but rapidly realised you had to be there.
