    Does he see this problem coming: suppose he does build a thing that gets high enough to show him what's what. Then he sees it, and comes back down, and says so.

    Then he finds he's just another ignored voice that The Powers That Be must have gotten to. That can't feel good.

    Won't believe him any longer if he ends up deciding it's round though!

    If you haven't read any of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, it's surely worth a minimum of one of your 630,000 hours.

    Not comfortable with Chap knowing my ultimate lifespan. Also it's rather a low #.

    We both speak in syllogisms. Informal modern style, leaving out some part of "If A then B". Perhaps hording parts for later use.

    But actually I just like to say syllogism. Over and over again...

    I don't care if a telephone administrator advances such opinions. But when a world-class Prius engineer does, my feet shift uncomfortably.

    I figure my warranty runs out in 100 years. So I’ve incorporated it into my sensitive password.
