No, it isn't- it's not deliberate, it's a matter of our current postmodernist view that one doesn't really have to understand something in order to have a valid opinion.
There's all sorts of misinformation posted here regularly. The only type that's censored is that which is a safety hazard. It won't hurt anyone if a poster is blithely ignorant of basic math, physics, and engineering- other than the poster himself.
I am of the opinion that surely some of the stuff on this thread has to be intentional! Opinions that are stated as facts really get to me.
I think I need this book:
Post-Fact Society
Perhaps a course in freshman physics and math might be of use? There are also online sources of instruction in how to do Fourier series and integrals. It is one of the most useful tools in science and engineering to understand how signals work.
wow! and you guys call us closed minded.... then again, whats a little subterfuge between friends. you should be looking closely at the light used to create that image to see the sinewaves, not the ideal fictional and iconic representation your brain is telling you you can see. again with the irrelevant attempts to be 'smart' by changing the point of reference, this time to visual. you are suffering from synaesthesia?

No, nothing like that, I think it's just a matter of seeing the need to learn the basics before talking about it.
What we have is someone who draws the numeral 4, then triumphantly demands that people show him where he used two numeral 2s to make his drawing. That is not someone suffering from some Latin disorder, it is someone who ought to put his brain toward learning arithmetic.

I was being silly/facetious with the synaesthesia thing, its not often you get to use a word like that =) its a very interesting condition, also brought on by the use of certain very strong psychedelic drugs 
and some cancer medication. the brain confuses the senses, so you can see sound, taste colour etc.
but i'll just simply put

How do you know they add more noise or jitter?
But please explain how there is no distinction between analogue and digital signals...
Audio 20-20,000Hz variable level signal, DDR memory 100MHz clock square wave!!!
I would presume you would lay out a digital board with star grounding instead of a ground plane.
Erin, I am impressed by your square waves, please explain how and why digital signals tend to end up with rouned edges when transmitted...and while your at it why is the rise time of the signal critical in determining the harmonic content of the square wave.
That explains the most
I realize the "differences" in understanding the basic concepts are monumental - and I can easily live with our "differences"
That's kind of a lame example IMHO (any CE transistor is an inverter). Do you have an example using, say, a 4013 or 7400?
That usually does not need a translation, but here is an explanation for you:
