I spent 40 years (2 hours a day from 1965-2004) sitting in the forecast room at the NHC during almost every hurricane event, learning from my observations and discussions with the forecasters on duty. I also spent a year working with noted researcher Banner Miller at the NHC in 1964.
I enjoy sharing this knowledge with those people on the forum that wish to learn from my experience and knowledge gained.
You have every right to your opinion that you have concluded from whatever professional practical hurricane forecasting experience you have accomplished. I am sure your opinion is highly regarded.
I also think that the hurricane forecasting knowledge I learned from: Banner Miller, Gordon Dunn, Paul Hebert, Gil Clark, John Hope, Richard Pasch, Bob Sheets, Max Mayfield, Joe Pelissier, Miles Lawrence, Lixion Avila, Neil Frank, Hal Gerrish, Bob Case, Ed Rappaport, Brian Jarvinen, and others, has some value as well.

NEVER. EVER.
Guidance is simply guidance."
