However, AISB, physics is not my field of research, so this does not apply to physics journals. Neither is it that of the other characters here – hence “Odd’s” recommendation –, with few exceptions that I find it unlikely would include you, 'nym-shifting troll. > It reveals you are not even an amateur in Science. Likely you are just a > half-engineer. Rotchm and Kefischer are more intelligent than you. It is probable as there are multiple ways of intelligence. Scientific, inquiring, intelligence, however, does not appear to be their forté given their misconceptions about all things science, and not yours.
