    Not an average software engineer--beautiful page (imperfect spelling)! Why does detection scale as the 4th root of the RCS? Nice problem for the radiation theory part of a graduate electrodynamics class.

      Also, I feel it's not who the generator is that should concern you--it's the quality of the text.

      I would much rather read something that is clear, concise, and consistent regardless of the source.

    >where RR is the distance from the target (imagine the radar being very far away) en.wikipedia.org . This formula might look intimidating, so let's break it down:

    You didn't even read your own slop. Why should anybody else?
