It's not really fair to the readers to use a word in an obscure

esoteric definition for "convey", and it is not in the IEEE
Dictionary, would this be a true statement based on your
definition of "convey"?

The EM light wave energy from the North Star that is absorbed
by a human eye conveyed energy from the North Star to that
human eye. The EM light wave energy from the North Star that
misses earth and continues on through space did not convey any
energy from the North Star.

Those are pretty smart light waves, Jim. How did the ones that
entered the human eye now know many years ago to convey (bring)
some energy from the North Star? How did the ones that miss earth
now know many years ago to avoid conveying (bringing) any energy
from the North Star. :-)

I have no idea what you are talking about, Cecil. And so, apparently,
that makes two of us.

I would guess that a statement like, "These EM waves are in the
process of conveying energy from the source to the load.", sounds
ridiculous to you?

Not unlike many of the other things you have said in this discourse.

But, take heart. You have brought your evil adversary to his knees.
Your relentless browbeating has finally taken its toll and achieved its
intended purpose. The blaring onslaught of abuse of logic, men made of
straw, mathematical sleight of hand, and alternative science has proven
too much for one person to endure. Personal intergrity has succombed to
vested interest, and I must withdraw. The internet may once again be
put to a good use. ;-)
