In the wonderful world of usenet, this kind of talk is pretty
meaningless. I don't know if 'did a lot of work' means you did
synthetic design, looked up stuff in tables, or were the guy who put
the last little shiny screws in on the case of that orbital package.
And 'design and build' a tv station is pretty much like what tons of
amateur radio operators have done.

My preference is to 'judge' what people are capable of by having a
discussion about substance. I observe in all these posts one person
who even tried to point out what was wrong with Bret's design (besides
me), so I can only assume that you guys are bluffing away just like
Bret does.

As for whether what he suggests is a 'design', yes it obviously is.
There's even the hint of an interesting concept there, which is why it
would be nice to hear from someone more familiar with the details of
'fluidizable' materials.
