I dunno. Most people would agree that a football is round, but would they say that about a rugby ball?Daniel Quinn wrote:Now i know you are marco . Round does of course not mean perfectly circular . An oblate spheroid and round are not different descriptions , they are just different ways of saying the same thing , one being more nuannced and technical .

I think you are choosing a definition of round to suit your point of view.Daniel Quinn wrote:a rugby ball is of course oval , the earth isnt .
So if the Earth is not "perfectly round" , is it in FACT, really round at all, or possibly nearly round, or roundish ?

I'm sure that in your day job the precise meaning of words, and factual information is paramount.
I rest my case.

Re: What is (or is not) Ad-hominem.
Oh FFS this has been discussed and described in the archive so many times it is daft. This is just more bunsen burner game playing. Do your own bloody work and use the search box for the archive. But NO this is not about finding an answer this is about your ferkin' game playing. AND to put it bluntly I have had enough of it. I really cannot be bothered to wait for weeks or months of your games before the inevitable booting. SO ONE MORE EXAMPLE AND YOU ARE GONE!
Re: What is (or is not) Ad-hominem.
I thought the discussion about "what is a fact" was quite interesting.
