"These effects on the planet are so slight (because planets are so
much more massive than spacecraft) that they can be ignored in the

He says to me, "You do not use it!  It costs too much!"

Indeed, the Martians did charge a fee for restocking their planet's
speed, and so did the Mercurians.  Yet when I looked at the bill it
was just a few measly credits.

He is not stupid.  He must know it is worth every credit.

Therefore he wishes me not to benefit.

He is stupid, for I have benefited, and also, I have shown him to be
contemptuous. I have benefited twice, and he thought to make me not
benefit at all!

Is he a wafflehead?  Does every action he takes is done with the
intention of keeping me constant or even holding me back?  He is not a
wafflehead because I do not know if he wishes to keep me constant or
whether he wishes to hold me back.

What if I were to look at the meaning of less-than-or-equal?  Is he a
wafflehead in this regard?  Indeed.  Are you coming, baby?  Mmm mm.  I
know you're gonna give me all of your love.  Mmm mm.  Mmm mm.  Looks
like we're gonna get it together this time. Mmm mm.   Ah.  Just step
up those stairs, baby.  Mmm mm.  ACH!  -- Robyn Hitchcock & The
Egyptians.

Love on you, baby.  This is Hostilnakfor.
