I heard a funny story last week at Knox.
They say that using RHA equivalency to gage penetration performance is a lot
like weighing pigs in Arkansas.
They take a board, put it across a fence with the pig on one end. Then they
pile up rocks on the other end until the board is horizontal, then guess the
weight of the rocks.
