Nope. Your extrapolations are meaningless and so far from reality that you
appear uneducated in the extreme.

Talking about yourself, again Bollen?
Would you care to list your qualifications here? After all it's not
going to take long, is it?

Yes, I guess so, Duhg. I doubt many motorists have had enough
education to be able to work out that 0.108 cubic metres is 1.08
litres. Or that there are two types of ozone. Or that adding
together waves of wavelengths A and B gives a resultant wave with
wavelength A+B. Such insights are given to few, fortunately.

He is also good at trigonometry as well- consider a triangle,
point 'A' = 'Vinces home'
point 'B' = 'Vinces place of work'
point 'C' = 'Vince's wife place of work'
He is able to move point 'A' so that 'A to B' + 'A to C' becomes less,
and there is even no inconvenience or polution in the move.

Is there no beginning to Duhg's wisdom?
