It's refreshing to have a voice of reason & logic show up. It won't convince
the people who want to believe but it's a good job of showing why it
probably ain't so. Kinda like the stories about the cars that got 100 mpg
with the secret carburetor. Mathematically it can't happen on production
cars we've seen but there's plenty of people who want to believe different.
