Who's opinion is that? YOURS? Did you write the exam questions? Do you
administer the test?

Sorry jackass- it's there to test your Knowledge and how to apply it to
your installations!

No-- this is a necessary part of electricity that you should understand
and know how to use.

True, Again. To add to it- I don't want you tackling the challenges
related to Ohm's Law Applications when it comes to FIRE!

who can't understand ratio's, proportions, Kirchoff's, Ohms, Battry
Calculations- I can go on.
