OK, no one else has pointed out the error in the leaning towards a
peak statement I made above.

I thought this was peer reviewed.

Someone paying attention would have (in fact, SHOULD HAVE) flamed me
for that remark. If we treat this as a two body problem -- earth and
mountain -- if one were standing in the mutual gravitational fields,
that person would in fact been seen to be leaning AWAY from the
mountain so as to be aligned with the local gravity vector.

Sorry, boys and girls, even gurus make errors from time to time.

Classic physics, of course,

That's what flaming is all about. Best results if I'm leaned to peak,
though. Makes sense, doesn't it, that one would lean towards a peak --
there's more mass there, after all.

Oh, you're all wet!

Are you trying to get him steamed?
