Default RE: basic aerodynamics

Not having visited this site for a while - -it is interesting to see various interpretations of "rules" .
If all info should be beginners -- beginners in what?
I have worked with beginners trying to fly models - who are accomplished full scale pilots and they simply don't "get it".
They try to follow the rules which worked for them in flying full scale , large machines.
They learned and followed the rules for that task.
That the very small models did not respond in the same time frames etc., simply upset their ability to respond to controls as required .
Are these guys "beginners?"
If you don't care to examine the boundries and the absurd - --you will never see the practical limitions of any theory
That is my take on it .
For example -I would have never developed any patents if I had simply " gone by the rules ". But I do appreciate your input-
without inputs -it is impossible to see if the "output" is relevant to the subject.
