Re: I was wondering...
I'm orthagonal. Everyone is wrong.

Self-contradictory. How could anyone be wrong if every axis is right?

Actually, I was angling for saying "angle" instead of "axis".

ABE:

Explanation for the non-mathematical minded.
​
Many coördinate systems are orthogonal, which means that each axis is at right angles to all the others.
​
For example, in a 2D space, the X and Y axes are at right angles (90°) to each other. In a 3D space, you add a Z axis which is at right angles to both the X and the Y axes. In nD space (for any integer value of n) each axis is at right angles to all the others even though our limited minds are incapable of visualizing that.

I include myself in "everyone" and thus remain confidently tentative.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.

Talking Heads:
It's scientific.

So where do I fit?
Good question. You say that you question any and all data.
  • Why were the conservatives unwilling to be as critical of the "data" against Trump?

    The debates and discussions about the BLM movement were strongly correlated with partisan politics. I don't know of any polls, but I would be absolutely surprised if the people in those protests were more than 5% Trump voters. Here in the PNW there were completely zany takeovers in Portland and Seattle, and again, I highly doubt those were Trump voters.
    ​
    All I was trying to point out is that crazy is not limited to just to conservatism. I think there is certainly a difference in quantity, however. I also think there is a difference in kind between the BLM movement and the 1/6 insurrection. It's one thing to protest excessive police brutality. It is quite another to use violence as a way of stopping the transfer of power in a democracy.
    So did they ever convict him on that January 6th fiasco or has it gone away?
