[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] I think that last line is the key here. If there were, for our purposes, a [i]need[/i] to know some detailed bit of information we normally ignore, one of us might do the calculations. Many of us here have taken college-level physics and calculus, and could do most of the same calculations Wong does. Because on his actual technical analysis pages* he uses pretty objective methods, the same methods that some of us used back on RAST six or seven years ago, we would come to the same conclusions. You would accept those conclusions, in this hypothetical situation. But if someone had just said, "Mike Wong calculated blah, blah," you'd go nuts. The problem is that if, for whatever reason, one wants a nitty-gritty little calculated factoid, Mike Wong is 90% reliable, in my experience. If the situation comes up, I'll be sure to just pretend I did the math myself, lest I incur your wrath! ;) * I, in fact, spent several weeks debating Wong about his communism pages, so I'm with you there. Note it's not on his hate mail page simply because a.) I wasn't a blathering idiot, and b.) it wasn't a formal debate. Only people in one of those two categories get up there. I enjoy his hate mail because it's one of few places where the only type of Trekkie I don't like (DeFiAnT rUlEz! WaRz SuX!) get's bitch-slapped. They make themselves look far more stupid than Wong does. [/QB][/QUOTE]
