This is reminding me of a thread a few years ago in which someone more or less explained 3:2 pull down to dude explaining that it's basically the only way to convert film frame rate to NTSC frame rate without changing audio speed an unacceptable amount, and he basically didn't understand any of it and replied something to the effect of "that's stupid. Why don't they do it some other way?" As if there's some magical analog solution to frame rate conversion other than 3:2 pulldown, running the film at the wrong speed or trying to run the TVs vertical deflection at the wrong speed (which never would have happened in the consumer space in the analog era due to broadcast regulations).
Between that and a old post of dude's where he claimed all digital sound and picture conveyances have mind control built in I've been long convinced dude is a gullible moron who has no understanding or aptitude regarding how electronics work.
Basically he's videokarmas equivalent of a grandma with no technical knowledge showing up to a grandchild's programming competition and cheering and booing random people on and complaining about the good rules of the competition without actually understanding anything that is going on...
