So....
When questioned about why John thinks the way he does, John goes mute.
When questioned about even WHAT he believes in detail, John goes mute.
Instead, John utters his customary slur and then changes the subject.
Interestingly, even when he changes the subject, he repeats his own
behavior.
- Only some galaxies are shaped like discs. What about the galaxies that
aren't?
- John waxes about the numerical coincidences between the size of
hydrogen atoms and the size of ONE galaxy (the Milky Way), but what
about the fact this ratio doesn't hold for OTHER galaxies?
- He says "if" atoms are discs, but there is no evidence that atoms are
even shaped like discs. He says that would be hidden by their
precessing, but still doesn't change the fact that atoms give no
evidence of being shaped like discs.
- He says atoms shaped like discs that appear otherwise because they
precess would be like precessing galaxies. Except galaxies show no
evidence of precession, either.
- So atoms are discs even though they don't behave like discs, they
precess even though they don't show evidence of precession, they're like
galaxies that are discs except for the ones that aren't, the precession
is like the precession of galaxies except they don't, and they have
similar size ratios for one galaxy but not for any others.
But still.... John believes these things. Why? Who knows?
