It wasn't his belief but his competency with his mathematics used for the analysis. He understands that mathematics is what it is and can't be believed/begged into submission.

More like your raw disrespect for his time and effort invested to help you out and then he gets told he had to be wrong because it didn't fit your "believed" oval.

Oh yeah you need to apologize to Warwick due to the fact he never commented in that thread from which you specifically posted and commented about/on in this post.

If you meant somewhere else then please clarify the difference, if any, and where it happened.

Somewhat reasonably concluded facts stop here!

All ye who enter hereafter be forewarned: unproven speculations fed by belief driven number crunching dwell below.

Outside your always special number crunching, what AE cultural evidence do you have to support your speculation above?

He who laughs last was probably slow to get the joke, probably didn't understand it correctly in the first place thereby laughing his head off for the wrong reason, and will probably retell it so wrong that the AE wind up Encoding every mathematical law into 3 pyramids including those laws yet to be found today but will be found in the future.
