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, with the corollaryIf you can draw one, but don’t, then your audience won’t know what you are talking about.”
-Kroemer 2000 Nobel Lecture
