Recently, hevans1944 and (*steve*) and I have been trying to help user "vead" understand the basics of the 8051 MCU core.
To check his understanding of the basics, I explained how the core executed a particular instruction and asked him to give a similar explanation for a different instruction. His response was an explanation of how the core executes a specific sequence of instructions; he had copied the whole post verbatim from an educational web site.
My response is at https://www.electronicspoint.com/threads/decoder-for-8051.270969/page-4#post-1632089 and I suggest that anyone else who is tempted to help him should reconsider. vead has been struggling to understand the basics of MCU cores for over a year now IIRC, and doesn't seem to have made any progress. He does not follow and respond to instructions; he prefers to constantly go off on tangents.
His behaviour up till now shows no sign that anything I (or anyone else) has tried to teach him has had any effect on him at all. I don't know whether he really honestly wants to learn; if he does, his attitude will ensure that he won't. I am now treating him as a troll. I don't like to do this, but this is an extreme case.
