Reply #70: The Same As It Has Always Been In This Foolishness, Sir

[The Magistrate]

The preservation of a sense of scale.

A given expenditure of energy cannot produce the expenditure of an amount of energy more than twenty-eight millions times itself.

The difficulty you seem to have with this, put bluntly, baffles me, as does why you cling to, and seek to spread, the nonesensical view that the Sumatran quake was caused by human agency.

Nothing you have put forward in support of the proposition actually does support it in any degree, and one would think your own confession of ignorance in scientific matters would constrain you somewhat in discussing them. My ignorance of automobile motors is complete, and accordingly you will never find me participating in discussions of what that "odd noise" may signify is wrong with one....
