Paying customers of the instructors want the sexy parts, not the boring weather stuff, even if lack of knowledge about it is more likely to kill them. One of my good friends uses the following as his sig file: "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it." The Broze/Gronseth book (can't remember the name of it now) illustrates that nicely. Good luck....
