Incredibly and uniquely, he does actually believe the Earth rotates
360 degrees in a 24 hour solar day and not in a sidereal day; no
amount of discussion will change his crazed mind. He somewhat
reminds me of a character I once met who insisted pi was 22/7
because he'd been taught that in school.

If a ball has 24 lines on it and when it turns 24 lines
makes it one 360 degree turn but then when it turns
only 23.9 lines??
Is that still a 360 degree turn?
No, of course not.

Well, that was certainly incoherent.

You need it more simple
Ok,,,
359 degrees does not make 360 degrees.
You sure need to make room in that rubber ruler brain Greg,
It is so full it can not even grasp the simple stuff anymore.
Oh wait.
You need a 240 page book with math to show you
that 359 /= 360 and of course it needs causes like
the degree change is caused by the degree change.
LOL
