That must be one of the things that burned out so many of your little
grey cells.
But you seem to have purposely ignored the stated fact that the example
was leading down a path to a discussion of the mathematics involved.
Diversion is a common tactic used by those who don't have any on topic
points favoring their posture. The model wasn't about trains although
it used trains in an example easy to visualize.
It appears you have no mathematics comprehension beyond that of a low
level technician and there's no reason to continue to try having a
sentient scientific discussion with you. This time I'll be putting
youinto the killfile.

Well, laughing boy, when an individual takes to answering their own
posts everyone knows they're a lost cause laughing at themselves. Have
at it, Sir Iananity.

A man is known by the company he keeps so it is no surprise to me you
befriend those who proudly congregate as "kooks". I really don't know
why I'm here slumming in your company so that stops right now. There's
been no value whatever to any of your argumentation because even when
you managed to get a fact or few correct you consistently and invariably
miss the big picture and you have no mathematics models supporting your
personal viewpoints. In short, in addition to usually being wrong
you're just a lightweight blowing smoke.
