Default Re: The math is NOT easy

Dude you're funny.

The basic math is fairly simple..what you're describing is pretty complicated but also pretty useless. So if I say weighing myself in the moring is pretty simple are you going to say, NO, NO, NO..you have to weigh yourself and subtract the mass of air in your lungs and continually subract the water that is being evaporated on your skin and then adjust for the airpressure in your house and add in the dog fart you inhaled when you got up..etc.

I can say I weigh 205 but you'll tell me I'm actually 205.1265789956458897. You can complicate any problem but if the simple solution gets you 99.9% accuracy I'm going to go out on a limb and say the other methods are just silly.

As for your second point..yea, I just said that in my original post only I used about 1/4 the amount of words.
