Of course I read the book! How the fuck do you think I learned about the dumb bell's claims, such as that we will all fall in love with our partner's genitals and have the best damn spaghetti and meatballs of all time every Monday night?

Boy, howdy, are you fucking stupid! Did you fucking READ the passage you now say you aren't arguing with? It does more than establish the speed of light -- it establishes that we don't see in real time. That is the fucking point that always whooshes right over your tiny head. The speed of light, and delayed-time seeing, are linked by necessity. That is what the fast-flickering lantern experiment shows, fool! Not JUST that light travels at a finite speed.

Yes, we know your buffoon of a father wrote that light travels at a finite rate of speed, while also maintaining that we see in real time. That is because he, like you, failed to grasp the elementary and experimentally proven fact that finite light speed entails delayed-time seeing. And he failed to grasp this because he was fucking stupid.

Like you!
