We ask the readership to note that Paul is pretending at this
point that he doesn't understand the situation under discussion.
We did say, a SECOND LINE, yet he has here placed this line on
top of the first, NOT a second line. A nanosecond later he
understands the situation, but posted this silly statement
anyway, apparently to fill the page.

Here Paul has stepped forward to acknowledging that the two lines
are not the same and an angle DOES exists, but exhibits the time
honored human trait of pretending he can't see where this is
leading, can't put one part and another part together and
contemplate the whole. Lets give him credit here folks, he DID
move from not being able to understand that line #1 and line #2
are the SAME, so progress has been made. Perhaps if given enough
time, he can contemplate the rest of our argument, which was that
by moving FROM line #1 to Line #2, the planet was pulled BACK
towards the Sun, degrading what humans call the centrifugal
force. Thus, if this is steadily being LOST during this process,
why do orbits not reflect this degradation? We will hear that
they do, perhaps, but this is not measurable, proving once again
that grown men can cling to fanciful notions even when the
evidence states otherwise.
