[QUOTE="johnc, post: 105095, member: 2084"] As further expression of smartarseness, this smells like an argument of words (as opposed to facts) as per Thouless' "straight and crooked thinking". :P This is an example Thouless used: "Suppose that a squirrel is on one side of a tree-trunk and a man on the other side. The man starts going round the tree, but however fast he goes round, the squirrel goes round in the same direction, so that he keeps the trunk of the tree between the man and himself. The philosophical question was as to whether the man went round the squirrel or not." [/QUOTE]
