You are not a physicist. You have no qualifications in physics. Rubbing a ball does not make it deflate. You don't need to test each individual dumb claim in physics to know that it's wrong. If you think that's what physics is, you are mistaken. One only needs to know that pig skins are practically impermeable to air…

But it wouldn't.

Not the goddamn coach.

You're right, let's stick with Belichick's explanation. After all, he's the more scientifically qualified and impartial one here. The fucking coach. Brilliant.

Cute ad hominems and deflections. How about you go the whole hog and explain how the "rubbing the ball", "atmospheric equilibrium" thing was not, scientifically speaking, total bullshit.

I don't know anything about it, all I know is the very basics of how computer hardware works.

Can you please stop being so bizarrely paranoid? It's not a "game". I've been asking the same question all along. In order to answer "how can you recode the game by playing the game", you have to explain how memory data can be made to be treated like program data. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, but that's the basic…

What are you talking about? I'm not trolling, I'm just asking for an explanation. What do you mean I want to "prove that your criticism is wrong"? What criticism? Seriously I have no idea what you mean.

I understand the basics of how computing hardware works, yes; I know that moving things around in the world modifies the RAM. It remains to be explained how the program is modified?

I deem my challenge not sufficiently met. Doing something pointless quickly does not make it any less pointless.

I don't understand how you can recode the game by playing the game.

Please explain it to me.

Challenge: explain why the time you spent writing that comment wasn't even more pointless.

So you didn't check?

I know. Well, it's an abstract symbol, so there's no such thing as its "real meaning". But I know what it used to mean. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the German swastika flag. It looks like this:

Continuously?

Well, they did try. But the result was... uhm... "Alfred".

I might even be so bold as to say they improved on the source material there - in one way, at least; namely, Gollum's dual personality, and the way the dialogue played off it. They'd already established that enhanced aspect of Gollum in the Lord of the Rings adaptations, but this was on another level of intricacy. It…

The mere act of departing from the source material wasn't the problem.
