Fascinating discussion of the nebulosity of electronic components featuring @robamacl and @mattskala. You don’t have to understand anything about electronics to get the key points (I hope! I don’t understand anything about electronics…)
Starting here:https://twitter.com/robamacl/status/1263505028591095808 …
Is that what’s going on here? My impression from what Rob was saying—I might have got this wrong—is that some aspects of bead behavior aren’t typically characterized even to within a defined factor, so you have to just try them and see?

I think both statements are true. The *really* uncharacterized stuff only becomes relevant in certain applications. In most applications, it can be swept under the rug by erring on the side of caution. Compare the thing about pulse power rating in the resistor article...

Most people aren't applying high-power pulses to resistors. You can deal with that by NOT applying high-power pulses, and by knowing that you shouldn't; or by using a resistor specified for a lot more general-purpose power than you need and hoping it can handle the pulses too;
