Steve,
This is a point worth making. I know some people who studied OT Hebrew
in the '70s at a little known school in Texas. They took classes from
Bruce Waltke and also from Alan P. Ross. They were astounded by Waltke's
command of the subject matter but they considered Ross a superior
instructor for the reasons you have mentioned.
