: Look where we get when a scientists starts to rationalize his poor behavior. My poor behaviour?!
Obviously, Stuart, you live in a world with conical mountains and triangular trees; a world full of primitive solids (which says a lot about your philosophical beliefs).
As Benoit Mandelbrot says in The Fractal Geometry of Nature; "Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."
: We get a tangential argument dissecting 5 sided squares.
What we get is an argument about unproveable propositions; to insist that it is about 5-sided squares is a shallow reading that misses the fundamental point behind the discussion.
: Why would one wish to attempt communication with you, Farinata when one cannot spare his native tongue from suffering your abuses?
If you wish to abandon any pretence at logical debate, feel free; rest your argument solely on your undoubted faith and nothing else; but don't imagine that you're going to win any vaguely rational debates that way, Stuart.
...And if we're going to be snotty about 'native tongues', your nation is using the tongue my direct ancestors have been using for the last 882 years (as far as we can trace the family tree back, at any rate.) - my family have been using English since long before the USA existed.
Farinata.
