Learn the difference between intensive and extensive units. They do not
equate. Both the amp-hour statement and the footnote are thereby
nonsensical. A footnote of nonsense does not redeem the nonsense being
footnoted, as if they were some kind of inverse nonsense that cancels
out.
Your "in other words" is just a blind assumption of what the author
meant
to say, but didn't.


You inability to grasp this is in direct contradiction to your claim
of having a PhD in some field of physics or engineering.


Scoffing at the wise is the habit of fools.

I would gladly settle issues based on my credentials, but this is
Usenet,
the river of foolishness. Engage at your peril.


Note to Jeff: Kinch has previously and adamently touted gasoline and
WD-40 as
being essentially the same thing, and perfectly safe to drink.
Credentials?
That's a funny notion.

He's got "Usenet Contrarian Tourettes Syndrome". No matter what the
subject and
what the facts are, he is unable to control his urge to take a
position opposite
to the known facts and the opinions of the rest of the world... and he
must
shout it loudly in the strongest terms possible.

Don't expect him to ever admit an error. He simply can't do it.

This is what I was trying to make an example of the other day with my
nonsensical lunatic post (and believe me, it wasn't easy butchering
physics that badly). Unfortunately, examples of extreme silliness,
raving and ranting, and loudly proclaiming that everything is wrong,
nothing can be true, you can't do that, it doesn't work, it's all
impossible, seems to be the modus operandi for Mr. Kinch. He could have
ended this whole thing by just going out and finding someone who
actually owns one of these things and asking "Hey, does this thing
actually work?"
But I guess its easier to do what I had suggested- If ya can't
dazzle 'em with brilliance, just baffle 'em with bull****.
