I have nothing to say to guys who believe in an ee concept that makes

guys who are dragging those great outlines into a similar situation
by
ignoring geodynamics.It is almost harder to ignore geodynamics than to
take it into account in respect to geological evolutionary influences
but so far,I have the distinct and unpleasant feeling that the
trajectory of reasoning is now lost ,a reasoning which uses stellar
dynamics to generalise rotational principles and apply them to the
Earth first and then graft in the mechanism as a more productive
solution for plate motion.

What people hope to achieve by ignoring geodynamics I do not know,it
has been on the table in its present form for a good few years now
with no pressure to adopt it,basically it exists as a halting
mechanism to stop 'convection cells' diluting the main argument for
plate motion and its long and short term effects.

I cannot imagine what dynamicists are going to apply to the Earth's
interior to generate the 40 km spherical deviation insofar as the
generalised rotational dynamics will almost certainly involve
differential rotation of the rotating composition in a fluid/flexible
state.There is no great upheavel with current plate tectonic outlines
other than the more productive geodynamics will answer more questions
than it will raise and besides,the 'convection cell' notions in
setting the internal composition and viscosity is not so important or
so far down the road that it cannot be set aside for a more realistic
approach.

Maybe the problems are no longer technical but the bigger headache of
the 'scientific method' ideologies and that I cannot get involved in
insofar as it is what is generating junk concepts which are now in
competition with plate tectonics or keeping a geostationary mechanism.

Let me see if I can summarize your rambling statement.

You don't think that geophysicists can figure out why the Earth is
oblate rather than spherical. While you think that differential rotation
(which happens in stars) occurs in the Earth, you're adamant that
convection (which happens in stars) does not happen in the Earth. And
you have no data to support any of your claims.

Do I have it right?
