Any reply to what you said in response to Praeothmin's post would be, I felt, on the topic of what sort of environment SDN is as opposed to SFJ. That would fit rather well into this thread.
So my apologies if you feel it makes you look bad, but it's done and I have yet to install a thread merge tool, so there's no going back.

Whether I understand the calc or not doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is if its correct.Batman wrote:It would show that you actually UNDERSTOOD those calcs.
Than the calc is wrong, it's not my job to prove a calc, its the other persons job to disprove it.Batman wrote:The same way they are supposed to, by showing they actually match what's shown onscreen? Which vivftp's calcs spectacularly fail to do, which I assume factored into him disavowing them?

A question. Why is he supposed to go to SDN to do this? If you've got a problem with what's being said on this site, then why don't you adress the issues here, where they were brought up in the first place?Cpl Kendall wrote:You know, this would be alot more effective if you'd pack your butt on over to SDN and complain there rather than bunker down here where no one can hear you.
I think it a bit strange that you seem to think members on other forums have to come to SDN in order to defend a claim (or even make it in the first place). This site is no more bunkered down then SDN, and you can move around freely on both.

I think the point here is that if the person using the calc doesn't understand it enough to properly apply said calc to a particular situation, then they are are the one at fault, and should have known better. On the other hand, if the person applying the calc uderstands enough to apply someone else's work to a particular situation, then yes, you are right; the other side of the arguement should be required to show that the calc improperly describes the situation, and then the debate can go from there.OmniBack wrote:Whether I understand the calc or not doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is if its correct.Batman wrote:It would show that you actually UNDERSTOOD those calcs.

Which you can't judge UNLESS you actually understand it.OmniBack wrote:Whether I understand the calc or not doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is if its correct.Batman wrote:It would show that you actually UNDERSTOOD those calcs.
Bzzt. Wrong. When you use a calc in support of your point yes it IS your job to prove it's right.Than the calc is wrong, it's not my job to prove a calc, its the other persons job to disprove it.Batman wrote:The same way they are supposed to, by showing they actually match what's shown onscreen?

And if the person I'm debating does understand he CAN.Batman wrote: Which you can't judge UNLESS you actually understand it.
No if I make statement A than I have to provide support for statement A *IE* a calc, it doesn't mean I have to prove the calc.Batman wrote:Bzzt. Wrong. When you use a calc in support of your point yes it IS your job to prove it's right.
The calc is what it is whether its right or wrong, its up to the other side to counter it and show fault in the calc and/or disprove it.

Give that unlike you we know vivftp's numbers from those calcs are GARBAGE (which apparently even vivftp understands) I suspect we understand them a lot better than you do.OmniBack wrote:And if the person I'm debating does understand he CAN.Batman wrote: Which you can't judge UNLESS you actually understand it.

No it isn't. And I like how you a) ignore that I dismembered those calcs over at SDN and b) that vivftp HIMSELF told you he did no longer support them, possibly on account of them being complete and utter garbage.The calc is what it is whether its right or wrong, its up to the other side to counter it and show fault in the calc and/or disprove it.

Obvioulsy, I stay away from calcs unless its something simple.Batman wrote: Give that unlike you we know vivftp's numbers from those calcs are GARBAGE (which apparently even vivftp understands) I suspect we understand them a lot better than you do.
And you're basically just proving my above point.
No it doesn't.Batman wrote:Yes it does.
Yes it is.Batman wrote:No it isn't.
That's not the issue, I'm 'ignoring' it because its irrelevant to the issue.Batman wrote:And I like how you a) ignore that I dismembered those calcs over at SDN
You *DO* remember it was *ME* that posted that on SD, yes?Batman wrote:and b) that vivftp HIMSELF told you he did no longer support them, possibly on account of them being complete and utter garbage.

Actually, you're proving mine.OmniBack wrote:Obvioulsy, I stay away from calcs unless its something simple.Batman wrote: Give that unlike you we know vivftp's numbers from those calcs are GARBAGE (which apparently even vivftp understands) I suspect we understand them a lot better than you do.

Me showing those calcs to be complete and utter garbage is irrelevant to you using those calcs? DO elaborate.That's not the issue, I'm 'ignoring' it because its irrelevant to the issue.Batman wrote:And I like how you a) ignore that I dismembered those calcs over at SDN
So how exactly does that affect the fact that the guy who did those calculations disavowed them?You *DO* remember it was *ME* that posted that on SD, yes?Batman wrote:and b) that vivftp HIMSELF told you he did no longer support them, possibly on account of them being complete and utter garbage.
Likely on account of them being utter garbage?

Not really.Batman wrote: Actually, you're proving mine.
Whether or not you prove them as incorrect after I use them has no barring on whether they should have been used.Batman wrote:Me showing those calcs to be complete and utter garbage is irrelevant to you using those calcs? DO elaborate.
Nothing, which is not what I'm talking about so don't twist the issue.Batman wrote:So how exactly does that affect the fact that the guy who did those calculations disavowed them?
You claim that I ignored the fact that Viv didn't support the calcs, when in fact it was *I* who posted it on SD in the first place.
