Yes, there is insignificant deformation relative to boundary conditions. We
agree on that, as has been stated many times. But to say that they are

habit of ignoring facts.

Give me a break. You don't know what is a fact. The fact is that there
is no significant deformation that would support large displacement.

The assumption that large displacement is equivalent to "significant
deformation"
is wrong. Until you learn the difference between *displacement* and
*strain*, you
should refrain from mentioning either.
