(Begin ZetaTalk[TM])
You are STILL avoiding the simple statement we made, which is
that we are talking about CUMULATIVE DRAG. Do you travel abroad
and insist that the waiter adapt to YOUR term for water and
bread? If you call bread "mooch" as this is what you
called it as a child, and the waiter doesn't bring you
"mooch", then he doesn't know what bread is? Egocentric
and unable to comprehend a term other than your own?
The cumulative effect of drag is that the
object slows down at a faster and faster rate. That was our
statement. Try to deal with all that was put into that sentence,
at once, dear boy, if you can.
