Even Richard the Guru agreed that this could not be true. Hi Dan, I did? Such is the seduction of confirmatory bias over the explicit answer to an explicit question. I warned you about overly elaborate questions. Imagine, many here wail over my exacting answers demanding something shorter. The same crowd wails when I comply! Clearly their grief is because either response plunges a stake into the corpse of logic they have been trying to revive. Not agreeing is NOT the same as disagreeing. Does my status as Guru follow the ephemeral tide of celebrity for supporting a cause? I could be called a fool for the same reason. I willingly allow either to be attached to me (it is a conceit of others, not mine; mine are far above that ordinary rank). posters stay humble, even decimal point errors, should they be so bold as to actually back up their statements with "math" (a black art for many) ;-) English is much more difficult than math. That is why this is not a math problem. It isn't exactly an English problem, but both language and math have been prostituted to serve a clumsy argument with loading coils. Cecil is especially prone to tripping over pebbles in the road and exclaiming they are intellectual boulders. It is fun to watch, however. Tragedy viewed from a distance is called comedy. Without it, lurkers would evaporate, discussion would wither, and this group would flicker out. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
