Yes, I can understand that there are some people who enjoy being a teacher but that doesn't mean that the ability to make an informative 'lecture' automatically follows as a consequence.
Each to his own, sure, but I'm a member of The Old School: I prefer to learn from an authoritative text book. Having said that, it is my experience that the vast majority of text books on Electronics, Physics and Mathematics are badly written - especially the author's command of the English Language: frequently abysmal. Then on top of that in the Radio and Electronics category, there are the technical errors - sometimes serious ones, too.
