I apologize for making an error.  I'm not sure it was a "major" error.

My error was that in one message out of a hundred, I failed to play defense
sufficiently carefully.  I wrote words which were open to
misinterpretation, especially when taken out of context.

I failed to defend against those who would rather play nit-picky word games
than seek an understanding of the physics.

I'm sorry for that.

This is my second apology.  Demands for further apologies will go unanswered.
