Now I get it

Daniel, you apparently were a lot more patient with that blog than I was, or a lot better at quickly deciphering it. After a couple minutes I gave up trying to extract anything meaningful from it.

Ironically (or 'interestingly' or some better adverb), I see a bit of commonality between this situation and the ChicagoPoint ruling Stick has posted -- finding the key issue.

"Assume the world is flat, is at the center of the universe, and that the sun revolves around the earth, the sky is red and the sun on the horizon is blue, the day is X fraction of the half-life of U-238, and BTW, U-92 is a stable nucleus....; what is the equation of gravity in this situation?"

Seems like any equation is as good as any other since every 'assumption' here is not only artificial, but unlikely even consistent with its neighbors.

NEXT!
