43. seriously discussing this?
:eyes:

I was thinking the same.

If seriously concerned with the facts of the matter, why not look to better resources?

If you prefer to use your circumference method the question is then what part of the circumference the letters occupy. To reach a height of 1.5m they would have to cover 12.5 per cent of the full circumference, a 45 degree portion.

Agreed?

Now please look for instance at this picture and tell us if you still think this to be the case:



The portion is nowhere near to spanning a 45 degree angle.

Or to minimise the foreshortening issue please examine this:



The letters clearly cover about one qarter of the diameter, one sixth of the circumference, i.e. one meter.
