Not even wrong.

What is it about “attribution _line_” that you do not understand?

Hardly.  You argued that your WAG were in any way better than Henry Wilson’s
because you had some knowledge of physics.  It has been shown repeatedly now
that it was not, that you have insufficient knowledge of physics to make
that claim, and that therefore your ideas and figures were dead wrong, too.
 You should learn from that and practice more humility next time.

Not in the way that you think.
