Default Mxsmanic , IFR sensations, and some other stuff

I think you asserted one time or the other you had technical
training. Why then in terms of static fluid pressure would one
specify a direction?

Interesting phrase, "pushes down". Why would you think atmospheric
pressure pushes down?
At sea level the atmosphere pushes down with about 14.7 pounds of force
for every square inch of exposed surface. On the average man, this works
out to about 43,000 pounds, all the time. Why aren't your crushed by this?

He probably picked down since down is as good a direction as any,
unless, of course, he was thinking of someone with a big head whose
top surface area measures 4.5 feet x 4.5 feet.

The fluid presses in all direction.

I was merely pointing out the fact that, if he, or the source of the
"43,000" in his post, actually thought that the fluid only presses
downward, then "43,000" would have been a much smaller value.
