I appreciate the time you've taken to reply to my brief comment, though you admit it took little effort, assuming, as a sibling post here states, "spherical cows in a vacuum", or rather your own equivalents for the sake of reasoning. While I'll spare myself listing the several assumptions your post inserts on it's path to your conclusions, I would like to compliment you on your obvious passion for the subject.


I actually appreciated the explanation. Less so the heavy sarcasm. I'm glad it's boring, obvious cubes and not starfish or irreducible complexity, but not in the least surprised, and I still think atoms are concave.


I think what you're failing to see is that a sentence like "math; not geology" sounds incredibly condescending and snarky.

I don't know if that was your intent, but if not it might be worth reflecting on what you meant to say instead, and why you did not notice that what you wrote instead comes across so negative. Because then there would be no need for heavy sarcasm.
