Tales from the Cube: Don't Underestimate Stealth Variable

Tales from the Cube: Don’t underestimate the stealth variable - RF Cafe WebsiteEDN has a troubleshooting story-telling feature called Tales from the Cube similar to the Sherlock Ohms feature by Design News. This one, titled "Don't Underestimate Stealth Variable." This one really reaches back into another era when terms like "cordwood" meant something other than fireplace fodder to electronics techs and engineers. The lesson, though, is still applicable today.
