Sorry, Gerhard. What I meant when I said 'follower', is the general 
thing that 'everyone' trusts Olin's expertise. It makes people too 
comfortable when he states something and then people fall in to the same 
trap you did. Olin said use an 'E' part, implying that it was the only 
one that covered the temp. range. You 'followed' him in the sense that 
you re-stated what his 'obvious' intent was - trusting Olin's assertion 
without checking it first. This is the 'expert' trap, where people stop 
questioning the experts and then 'bad things happen'.
