Re: Are we being too hard on people who ask uninformed questions?
Brad,
The plot thickens, the mystery deepens! I've read speculation that you couldn't write your post other than you did. The speculation seemed based on a theory that you have brilliant but well, "strange perhaps autistic?" brain. I've seen brief clear posts from you but this one seals it. You've outed yourself here. You can write clear, direct posts. Your unique style is something you've chosen and it may be as hard for you to write as it is for most of us to read. The question for me now is, "Why does Brad choose such a cryptic near impenetrable writing style for the majority of his posts?"
If you refuse to explain could you perhaps hint? Give us at least a clue, please!

i think it the language of the future of science.
Interesting. I had heard that mathematics was the language of science.
And one time I thought you might be parodying the language of scientific papers, then later I thought maybe you were a computer program that had taken scientific papers and used them to recreate a language. I hadn't considered you were working on a new language of science. I still see elements of parody and also of language experimentation as a sort of poetry of science.
