Nah ,it was fact, I got the tape measure out and all, really I did,

What part of the word 'estimate' do you not understand?

You're the one that's flawed, Anthony. You lack the mental capacity to
understand what the OP said and, like a moron, assume it's flawed.

Anthony, you don't know **** from shinola.

Is that literal or figurative ****?

And what is shinola? And why would anyone know this anymore anyway?

The important point is that the knowledge gap between an average ATP and an
average non-pilot is far smaller than the gap between someone with a PhD in
chemistry and someone with no special knowledge of chemistry.

Do you really think Jo average knows some chemistry? Try asking a few
people what dihydrogenoxide or calcium carbonate is...
