Sir Jack, such excellent posts for guests like me here.
Thanks for starting this thread RL.
I keep seeing this in so many situations - It seems the quickest path to clearest understanding is by articulating how Concept A is different from an already understood Concept B.
Where is the boundary of the envelope of similarity / difference.
(rather than Chapter 1, Chapter 2, ...)

Goodness... Here we go with all inductive and deductive reasoning with equations and mathematical formulas.  Can't we keep a few good foot in mouth/buttkicking threads from turning into an intelligent and informative discussion? I know, impossible with this crowd. LOL
Here ya' go frontsight. I formulated the variables of this discussion and then applied them to basic geometrical computations to graph and better understand exactly what RL and Jack's positions are on this topic. Hope this helps...  The outcome is inevitable as you can clearly see.

Ohmygod Saca, do you know how many of those things I have seen in over-airconditioned labs when trying to get a project done by deadline?

Now we just need to apply a band-pass filter, and I would be the remaining Voice of Reason!

NDD has a Harvard sweatshirt ??? No effing way!!! Not that POS school!
Dang-it, that does it, I am going to get NDD a MIT tee-shirt (for warmer climates).
When someone asks him about it, he can just say it's French, and it means he is WITH....

If we hadn't saved the frogs butts in WWII, "mit" would have also meant "with" in Phrance

LOL -- and I thought this thread had died the death it deserved.
If you would pay attention to detail, Saca, the comparison was between litigators and soldiers, not litigators and SF soldiers.

Calling you the Great Santini isn't so bad, it could have been COL Kurtz.
