7. For Heaven's sake....

For Heaven's sake, even someone with your limited acumen in science should be able to see how poor the design of the Solyndra system is.

Again, consider my analogy with how your place heliostats in a solar farm. If you had someone who put the heliostats in a circle with the panels facing outward; wouldn't you admit that person doesn't know what they are doing?

"Why do you have solar panels pointing north in the northern hemisphere?"

"Oh - I want to be ready in case the sun rises in the north and sets in the south".
