A bit like the B170 being defined as 40,000 rivets flying in formation?

Heard war stories at aero club about RNZAF pilots calling up control towers on American mil bases in Se Asia.
They called up B170 and tail number Yanks thought it must be a bomber.

When the things got in sight the controllers suspected they were calling for a tow.

863153 2010-03-03 08:16:00 According to some theorys Bumble Bees can't actually fly but they do so anyway.

Does this mean they have read this but choose to ignore same or should we conclude that Bumble Bees can't read?

It also means that the theorist knew sweet bumble about slotted wings.
