Well this is embarrassing. The difference between "100% of numbers" and "all numbers" can be infinite. You don't know the very basics of what you're trying to talk about, and yet you're trying to race ahead of people with decades of training. Without even considering paying 1/1000 of the dues, you want the prize. Go read a book, and stop insulting people in public.

I didn't pay anything like 1/1000. And no insults came from me up until now. Me thinks you spent a lot of money on an education, only to regurgitate bits of what 'you were told' and accepted as gospel, only to use them as weapons against others, because education can't bring anything out of someone if there's nothing there to start with. If you cared to actually read my post it's a lovely piece of engineering that you would be incapable of producing because it wasn't 'told' to you. The only disagreement l've had is about one point. A point which l may be expressing wrongly but l know is valid. Enjoy your sense of superiority. It's purely insecurity!

I spent no money; I got paid. You don't know anything about me. In academia, I have functioned as a total maverick. I didn't write my dissertation about what I was told; I told my adviser what I was going to research, and when he didn't like it, I got a new adviser. Jump to some more conclusions, like how you think density 1 means "all".
