If you'll read the post, what i said was that you do not have to be
pluging numbers into a calculator to be using the formula. i would be
willing to say that most techs worth a hoot understand ohm's law just
fine. a good number of them probably cannot quote it but understand it
nonetheless.

You are correct about one thing you don't have to know ohm's law to use
a volt meter, but you probably couldn't tell a person what you are
looking at on the meter either.
