    Why not just bypass the upper feedback divider resistor? That's what >>>>>we do.

    Wouldn't trust any direct connection between an integrated circuit
    pin and a sensing point, particularly in the presence of noise.


    In lots of reg chips, the connection is internal, out of your control.


    Also don't trust internally generated reference currents. Why? >>>>Probably because it's just one more added complication and source
    for error, over which the end user has no control.

    If it don't work, don't use it.

    One experiment is worth a thousand expert opinions.

    . . . says Werner von Braun.

    He did in fact say this.
