And on and on and on he goes.... Trying to "win" an argument by wearing everybody else down.

And now you can spend another 5 posts explaining why you are not trying to wear everybody down....

In the meantime I'm going to have a far more interesting conversation with a wall.


There is no argument here. I am just explaining why you are wrong.

The good thing (for you) is that a wall won’t tell you when you are wrong.

And, the bad thing (for you) is that a wall won’t tell you when you are wrong.

Then perhaps you should try to talk to a wall that never tells you are wrong

Who knows, the wall might even be interested in what you have to say

Or it could have been prevented by simply not doing it. And here I end this "discussion". Feel free to have the last word

Promise?

The word arbitrary describes his selection of the beginning of the open-mike transmission as his zero base time. Now, he could have selected another point in the recording as his zero-base time and deduced the “real” time accordingly. This is what Dale Myers is saying.

That’s some fancy dancing, son. I gotta hand it to you.

Martin’s right. Your insistence that “arbitrary” only be used according to your desires is silly and insignificant and only being done to score imaginary “points” . How many more pages will be wasted on this?

BS.. when you start talking about family members you always need to be careful. But I never expected an apology from you.

Hypocrite Chapman had a fit once when I made a similar crack about his father.

I've already proven beyond any doubt that the time stamps on the DPD recording do not justify the conclusion that Tippit was killed at 1.14. So, either the 1.17 and 1.18 time stamps for the calls by Bowles and Callaway (both men made calls roughly within 2 minutes after the shots and not 4) are wrong or Myers is pathetically bad at mathematics.

Myers also likes to pretend that he knows when things happened to the exact second.

When you start out with something that's arbitrary everything that follows is by definition arbitrary.

1. Dale Myers is the one that used the word arbitrary (not Bowles).

2. In Dale Myers’ sentence, the adjective arbitrary immediately precedes the words zero base. Which in proper English grammar means he is describing zero base (not “real” time, or anything else).

FACEPALM

That’s exactly what I said was arbitrary and you argued with me!
