Which is why people in this thread, myself included, have had to go to increasingly obscure devices to find counterexamples. (And creating an interesting discussion in the process I might add.)

Yep, it's cheating! It's kind of frustrating because again, for the...
fifth? sixth? time. We're talking about where a resistive
potentiometer is being replaced by an active component. Not servo pot.
I specifically excluded that early on in the conversation because it
deteriorates the conversation into...

^ this. And that's not a conversation that we learn anything from.
It's frustrating because by now I bring it up in reply to every single
email and people still ignore it.

OK! let's hear about those. Can you bring up some examples?
