Well, the Vizard statement is made up of 4 negations, and a negation is exactly that - NOTHING.
"... balancing does NOT mean..." OK; I don't need to know what something is NOT, just tell me what it DOES mean.
"What is does mean ... whatever(?) forces ... may NOT be countered..." HUH? They may NOT? Or they MAY, I guess??? I should flip a coin? Cause that statement doesn't say anything definitive either.
"The result is an out-of-balance engine". HUH again? What if those forces WERE countered? THAT don't matter either, cause he says the result is something that is NOT [something].
"But the engine is [not] ...". See comment #1.
This Vizard guy sounds like a politician. 'See how many happy words you can say, and NOT be saying anything'.
He wouldn't want to listen to MY questions.
Blade, I agree with you 100%. He tries to simplify (in my opinion) for the ignorant masses and at the end of the day says nothing. Remember who pays his bills. Manufacturers. A specific answer to balancing would piss off all the manufacturers that don't balance. It's a revenue tight rope. Bite the hand and all that crap.
