Please help identify mysterious part !!!

You may be right. After all the village idiot is missed by many if he leaves. And the Fool is always welcome in court. So yeah, I guess you could be right.

Of course one has to wonder about this obsession with "Harelydoods" and their assless chaps, although by definition chaps are assless, otherwise they'd be pants. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on your part, about the assless part I mean.

 

Let us depart from "may" and "guessing" when quantifiables should be the order of the day lest your ass is left hanging oot of your hopefully ATGATT certified nappies.

A scholarly quote from Andreas Johnson on the function of the village idiot:

The village idiot in strict terms is a person locally known for ignorance or stupidity,[1] but is also a common term for a stereotypically silly or nonsensical person. The term is also used as a stereotype of the mentally disabled.[2] It has also been applied as an epithet for an unrealistically optimistic or naive individual.[3]

The village idiot was long considered an acceptable social role, a unique individual who was dependent yet contributed to the social fabric of his community.[4] As early as Byzantine times, the "village idiot" was treated as an acceptable form of deranged individual compatible with then-prevailing normative conceptions of social order. The concept of a "village savant" or "village genius" is closely related, often tied to the concept of pre-industrial anti-intellectualism, as both figures are subjects of both pity and derision.[5] The social roles of the two are combined and applied, especially in the sociopolitical context, in the European medieval/Renaissance court jester.

Please notice the reference and correlation to the court jester and the function of the fool. This is delineated well in several references in Shakespeare's "King Lear" .

So getting back to basics, what brand of spotmeter do you have to make these measurements for all to see since I have been relegated to being inept? Welcome to the spotlight dude.

 

And you've never seen John Cleese in his role as village idiot? Sounded very like your definition of the village idiot. Of course that could be before your time.

As for the spotmeter, I'm using the standard issue Mark 1 Eyeball. Periodically checked and calibrated to the most stringent of standards.
