REPLY:
Perhaps he is, but he should say so. The entire article is about grounded grid
amplifiers, not the characteristics of a tube disconnected from all circuitry.
The paragraph where the infamous quote appears specifically mentions the Super
Cathode amplifier circuit. Why would anyone assume he is talking about a tube
NOT connected into that circuit?
Clarity in technical writing can be elusive, as we can all see. :-)
