I often put this in the form of Kroemer s lemma of proven ignorance : If, in discussing a semiconductor problem, you cannot draw an Energy Band Diagram, this shows that you don t know what you are talking about. coroallary: If you can draw one, but don t, then your audience won t know what you are talking about. (Nobel Lecture, 000)
