This is irrelevant. You keep mixing non-scientific aspects with the details of the actual
mathematical model used by the physics.

No, it didn't go "insane". What happened was simply that one day you realised
you could not understand it, and instead of simply switching to a different hobby, you
decided to go on the Internet and yell at people who do understand it. This is very
common.

No. This is irrelevant because you are abusing common English meanings
of words to stand for properties that aren't there in other contexts.

No, you simply don't understand it, as your above quote above the "moving
trees" proves it. You have a very basic misunderstanding of pretty much
all the basics. Why you are on this group while carrying such deficiency is 
anybody's guess. Obviously all you're going to get here is abuse, this will 
never change unless you change your attitude, so good luck.

No, you don't. You've just said, several times, that "Ask a man on a street
how he sees the buildings moving".

It happens to be the truth: compared to you we are gurus. Why do you
resent it? What's wrong with having a guru? Don't be such a child.

Have you heard of Tarski?
It's quite easy to create a theory true in the
context of itself, every theory has this
property, poor idiot self-appointed guru.
The trick is - a theory inconsitent with
the metalanguage is - false.
But these are things far beyond the ability 
of your tiny, brainwashed head....

A bunch of idiots mumbles, with occasional shouts
"we are GURUS!!!!".
Believe, poor idiot, nothing complicated with it.

No. Imagination of a poor idiot.
You're just a common bunch of arrogant fools.

Yes, he has a common room named after him at the UC Berkeley Math Dept. :-)

Irrelevant. You are making mountains out of molehills. Here I'm addressing
what you said about trees moving with respect to a person walking down the 
street. It's simply a property of certain smooth functions (called "coordinate 
systems"), and you twist it to "imply" as if physicists insisted the trees 
actually "moved" (in some unspecified sense) with respect to the observer.

> The trick is - a theory inconsitent with

Irrelevant.

Yada yada yada.

You know, poor idiot, a competent man talking about
properties of certain smooth functions (called "coordinate 
systems") would say: "coordinate systems have properties".
A relativistic moron will yell "observers observe!!!!
Experiments confirm!!!!" and other bullshit.

BTW, creating coordinate systems, poor idiot, is intended 
for coordination. Not for a nice symmetry, so precious
for your bunch of idiots. 
And that's why time (as defined by your idiot guru himself)
is galilean, as we can see at GPS.

Yes, I do like to feel both ideologically correct.  The other option is to feel ideologically incorrect.  I like to feel that the ideological ground where I stand is well tested.  I like to be able to say to others "I think I have found a sturdy place to stand. Unless you have a better spot, come join me." 

I also like to survive and function properly in the community.  The other option is to die, or fail to function properly in the community.



My statement was that each of us has our own point-of-view.  We are trapped within that point-of-view, unless we join someone else to "walk-a-mile-in-their-shoes" or if we try to examine another point-of-view through simulation.

My brain is trained to deal with the word "movement", indeed.  In general, I say "I am moving" while the ground is standing still.  There is nothing wrong with saying such a thing, unless you reject other perspectives.  

One can and should accept that other unique perspectives and backgrounds exist, and when teaching and learning from them, try to understand "where they are coming from".

You acknowledge the definitions of the words they use.  You acknowledge the existence of their hypotheses.  If you are going to reject what they are saying, you try to understand what they are saying.

This is no hypothetical for me.  I have talked to Christians.  

(1) Some Christians say "Love even your enemies."  Matthew 5:43-48.  For these Christians I would ask no further questions, because I believe as they do.

(2) Other Christians just say "Love each other."  John 15:9-17.  For those Christians, I would try to get them to answer, "who is each other?"  If they answered that every human being is each-other, then I would ask no further questions, because I believe as they do.

(3) For those who would say "Only those who share in the body of Christ" (1 Corinthians 12:12-31) I would ask who they believe shares in the Body of Christ?  Must we literally eat his body and drink his blood, as suggested in John 6:52-66 or is it enough just to breathe in the air he breathed, as suggested in John 20:22.  

If they answered, "everyone who breathes the same air" then I would ask no further questions, because everyone breathes the same air.

(4) If they answered "everyone who accepts that Jesus is the Son of God" I would ask, "Do you mean, in the sense that we are all Children of God?"  (Matthew 6:9)  and if they said yes, then I would ask no further questions, because they believe as I do.

(5) If they answered, "Everyone who accepts that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God" then I would begin to argue.  

I would ask them if they were making this statement based on Pascal's wager, and whether this wager meets the definition of faith--that they truly hope all the nonbelievers go to hell and are tortured for eternity.

If they answered "it is not my choice." I would say, "Perhaps it is not your choice what you fear.  But it should be your choice what to hope for." 

If they answered "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." I would say "Perhaps it is time to step into the adolescence of wisdom; see with your eyes, hear with your ears, understand with both mind and heart."

As with any word, one should acknowledge the different definitions, and not require others to use the same definition in every context.

Experiments and mathematics are good methods by which to see and or model things from other perspectives than your own.

I was trying to convey exactly what I thought was "wrong" with it when I bumped this 11 year-old thread

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.physics.relativity/QATOqgx21Lg/Ky3MPXrTAQAJ

I've read some insane guru papers; they're marked by
• Variables not defined explicitly
• Text does not properly describe what's going on in the math
• Conclusions drawn that don't actually follow, and are not actually used in the math
• Statements made that could be interpreted in half a dozen ways that lead to misunderstanding.
• Statements where a correct interpretation is inconsistent with the common understanding of the statement..

It seems to me, that the best way to achieve understanding is to point to these issues, and list possible interpretations, and see if any of those interpretations lead to truth.  This is an exercise I would call either "acknowledging your impressions" or "acknowledging the hypothesis".

I don't know what instances you are referring to from the last 20 years, but I have, in the past, thought that "spoonfeeding" of Special Relativity theory was possible.  And when I began this process, I thought I was in the mainstream...  Of course, the mainstream hasn't poured out to endorse my ideas.  Rather, the people who disagreed have poured out to argue with me.  There are basically three groups..

(1) Endorsers of well-defined models, who have a different hypothesis than mine.
(2) Cynics, who do not have their own hypothesis, but are happy to mock everyone who does.
(3) People who are so used to arguing, they don't even recognize when they agree.

That's not true.  Surely with a little creativity, I could come up with some way to misinterpret even your simplest word.  But it would be a grand waste of my time to do so.  Even if I couldn't misinterpret it, I could render it meaningless by failing to acknowledge it.  

(for instance, in his last reply to me, mlwo called me a "liar.")  This has saved him a great deal of time, because labeling me thusly means he no longer has to listen to anything I am saying!

It's easy to misinterpret, and call someone a liar.  However, it takes a lot more work to find an interpretation of what hearing that offers correction, or leads to the truth.

A nonsense. How many possible combinations are there?

You can find such things anywhere.  The problem with Great Guru
is: he tried to revolutionize mechanisms he had no real clue about.

Revolution was trendy that time.

Well, for an example, here you can see the definition for the word "up"

https://www.google.com/#q=up+definition

3 verb definitions, 1 noun definition, 5 adjective definition, 1 preposition definition, and 8 adverb definitions.

Yet, if I said to someone.  "Hey, I got my up today." you would still have to ask me "What do you mean?" because it doesn't seem to be a familiar usage.

And to that I would probably answer, "Actually, it was intended to be gibberish," which would be the truth.

Or I could pretend the words have meaning, and accuse those who don't understand me, of stupidity.  It should be absolutely clear though, that if I did this second thing, that this is not what someone with a real idea would do.  At best, this is someone who once had an idea, but has forgotten the reasoning behind it; and may not even know the reasoning behind it, or whether it is valid.

One can do the problem one of two ways.  One is to do a path integral of the space-time metric in the rest-frame of the stay-at-home twin.  (But it would be impossible for the traveling twin to view the events around him from this perspective.)

The other way is to consider it from the changing point-of-view of the traveling twin.  (When I say changing, here, I am saying the coordinates of events move around him... but he never has the choice to observe anything from an inertial reference frame.  He is trapped in his own perspective.)

If you look at the animation, you can see the time between event O and E, then the time between event E and D.

It's very different to say "troll" and "liar".  A troll is one who criticizes everything.  A troll could say "you're fat" to a fat person.    Or "you're an idiot" to a person who has made a mistake.  

Maciej Wazniak said, having no argument, I used "ad personam" rhetoric.  (I thought at that time you and mlwo were both the same person...  I'm still not sure.)

It was true, I had no argument.  I couldn't really tell whether mlwo posted two comments to argue with Tom Roberts, or if he was calling himself an idiot.  

When you responded, I had to look up ad personam, and I found it here:
https://www.quora.com/What-are-concrete-examples-of-ad-hominem-and-ad-personam-Are-they-the-same-or-is-there-a-difference/answer/Sam-Austin-1?srid=tNZH

...where it said "Ad personam arguments appeal to the personal interest of the arguer's audience. To modulate my previous example, the ad personam version would be: "You'd better agree with me on this point or I'm going to tell everyone you're an evil person." Another example would be: "You ought to think more like I do if you want people to like you" (or anything that suggests that it is in your interest to agree with the speaker's point of view irrespective of its validity)."


And indeed, my suggestion is precisely this "You'd better think more like I do if you want people to like you."  

So I said "you nailed me."

Of course, it sounds HORRIBLE to a cynic to have someone suggest that they should be motivated by people liking them, which makes it all the more humorous.

No, I suppose not.

Seeking a random text with a hope "maybe something
of value" is suicidal. You'll end brainwashed by some
shit - unless you have more luck than wit.

Of course we are. Do you want a proof you're lying?
And do I look like a prosecutor to you?
I see you're lying, so I say "you're lying". Of course, my
ideas are influenting what I see - I can be wrong, but
I don't think so.
You saw I'm a troll, so you said.

No.  But I would only be wondering one definition.  The definition of the one person who used the word.  That is what that one person meant by it.

It's what people with real ideas do.  I've done it myself, and I'm sure I'll do it again.  But that doesn't mean it is what they should do.

It's perfectly legitimate to say "I don't have time to explain this right now." or "I am under no obligation to MAKE you understand what I'm saying."  Or "Your ability to misunderstand does not detract from the quality of an idea."

But to say "You're too stupid to understand" is not right.

To my knowledge, you can predict the time on a moving clock by doing this, yes.  But my point was to offer another method that would give the same answer, and consider things from the point-of-view of the clock.

The traveling twin is the one who undergoes greater acceleration between meetings.  He might claim "I'm moving relative to earth" or he might claim "The earth is moving, relative to me."

When he sees the image of the earth zoom away from him on turnaround, he should probably come to the latter conclusion... as far as visceral experience goes.

Yet this is what every teacher has to contend with every day.  They collect papers from their students, and read through the answers, seeking "maybe something of value."  

But in general, they are looking mainly for one thing... Whether or not the student has understood what they have been teaching.  And it's generally pretty clear whether the student has understood or not.

Prosecution: continue with (a course of action) with a view to its completion.

If you want to call me a liar, I would like to see your evidence against me.  

You call me a liar... That means you believe I have told a lie.  Perhaps I have said something that is untrue.  Perhaps I have knowingly said something untrue.  

Do you have evidence that I am saying something untrue?  Am I repeating someone else's untruth, because I believe it?  Or did I maliciously come up with the untruth on my own?  Or did I say some untruth when I was being sarcastic, or joking around?  

Or are you calling me a liar because I said something you don't believe to be true, but I do?

What reason did you have for calling me a liar?

> Of course, my
> ideas are influenting what I see - I can be wrong, but
> I don't think so.
> You saw I'm a troll, so you said.

You exhibit trolling behavior, and the argumentative philosophy of a troll.

When I said "I could pretend the words have meaning, and accuse those who don't understand me, of stupidity. "

...you responded...

 "But that's exactly what people with real ideas do, and that's exactly what they should do."

You offer me, here, a moral statement about what people "should" do.  I would offer the moral statement that what people "should" do is to try to understand, as much as possible, and clarify, as much as possible, and never give up on the possibility that the other person will eventually understand your meaning.

I cannot say "I see you are a troll" but I can say "I see you have acknowledged a troll-moral-standard"

But what do I hope for?  If this is a moral standard that you cannot abandon, that you SHOULD call people stupid and liars, when you disagree with them, then I hope you will realize that you are a troll.  If I can get you to abandon this moral standard, and realize you SHOULDN'T call people stupid and liars, you can stop being a troll.

Just to be clear, though.  I'm not above trolling myself.  I've certainly done it, but I realize it wasn't something I "should" do.  

===================



As for relativity, let me pose this scenario.

Barbara lives at a house next to the route of a trolley.  At 5AM she wakes up in her house.  Meanwhile, a trolley is 15 km west of her house, and coming east toward her house east at 5 km per hour.  Barbara has breakfast, reads the paper, checks her email, and at 8AM she gets on the trolley.

A man in the trolley asks her, "where did you get up this morning?"  To which Barbara answers by pointing back at her house.  "I woke up there, at my house, this morning at 5AM."

The man looks at her with concern, then looks at his watch, does some calculation in his head, and finally says, "No, you didn't.  You got up there..." pointing in the opposite direction.  "15 km that way, at 5AM this morning."

Which of them is more correct?

With more complicated words it's very unlikely.
And, well, your choice. For me, when someone says
"the pears grow on a willow" I don't have to ask
him, what he means by "pear".

And who told you science is right? Or moral?

You can. And these predictions are worthless.
Clocks are our tools. They're not any avatars
of the Essence. They show what we want them to.
And in real world it is NOT what the Shit 
predicted. Check at GPS.

How did you get it? I have constant 1g.

Is it the same experience that told you that

moving?

"  But in the sense that "I have no other perspective than my own;  I am immobile within my own viewpoint." It is absolutely true. "

You know perfectly that if we meet on the street
and I asked you "This building has moved! Did you
see?" you would think i'm a crazie. You know you
would say oppositely in most cases. And yet - 
"absolutely true". A lie. And a lying person is a
liar. Sorry.
Maybe your definition of a "liar" is different? Well,
if it is, I don't care.

Exactly. You said "It is absolutely true" knowing it isn't.

"one should" can mean three main different things (maybe more, 
at the moment I can consider three).
1)if he don't it will be unmoral
2)if he don't it will be uneffective
3)if he don't I'll be surprised.
No. I didn't offer you a moral statement.

> But what do I hope for?  If this is a moral standard that you cannot abandon, that you SHOULD call people stupid and liars, when you disagree with them

"Stupid" is rather rarely applied to people agreeing with
the caster, isn't it? What do you think this word is
intended for? And why do you're trying to teach ME, not 
Gary Harmagel, for instance?
"Liar" is different. But as you say "absolutely true"
knowing you would say oppositely in most cases....

Barbara. Now my question for you: which one

Actually, I think I see you're point.  You're saying that if the words used to convey an idea fail, it is entirely the fault of the speaker.  Not yours.  

My point is just that this should be a shared responsibility.  There is something called three way communication.  For instance.  

1.  Initial communication (Speaker)
2.  Repeat initial communication, in own words. (Listener)
3.  Confirmation of understanding (Speaker)

If the listener doesn't understand what the speaker meant, he can choose either to say "I didn't understand what you meant." and try to get the speaker to start over at step 1.  Or he can simply repeat the exact words, and pretend to understanding, with step 3.  Or he can give up on the process entirely, because of the many possible perils of each step.

If you want to understand the speaker, it would make perfect sense to ask I'm confused.  What do you mean by "the pears grow on a willow"?

From

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_for_the_Global_Positioning_System

It says that gravitational time dilation causes the clocks to go about 45 microseconds per day faster, and path-based time-dilation causes the clocks to go about 7 microseconds per day slower.  

The article has a "factual dispute" tag, but I didn't see any mention of the dispute on the talk page.

Of course, you'll see the buildings moving.  If the buildings stay at the same place in your retina, you'll end up bumping into them!

Your point-of-view is whatever arrives at your ears, your eyes, your body.  The experiences of these senses are "viewed or existing independently and not in relation to other things; not relative or comparative."  That's the definition of absolute.

Yes you did.  You just don't know what I mean by moral statement.

Moral:
1. concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character.
2. holding or manifesting high principles for proper conduct.

A moral is a principle for proper conduct.  Your 1st principle for proper conduct is "not unmoral."

Your 2nd principle for proper conduct is that it should be  effective

Your 3rd principle for proper conduct is that it shouldn't surprise you.

I will say, if every time someone surprises you, you are telling them "you shouldn't do that." I don't think the problem is necessarily with them.

They're viewing the events from the point-of-view of the train.  
The man is correct, because he's pointing along a vector in spacetime that actually makes sense.  Barbara is incorrect, because she's pointing toward the house where she got up--not where it was when she got up in it.


I'd rather not get into labeling people as "stupid" but Barbara does not have "mathematically justifiable semantic freedom" to claim that that she got up in a direction toward the back of the trolley.

No. Saying the above I'm saying the above.

1)Why would I want to understand an arrogant idiot imagining
that standards of common mortals don't touch him?
2)With einsteinians it doesn't work. Usually they simply 
pretend they don't see the question. More devoted scream 
"this is not a question!!! This is a RANT!!!". That's all.

By saying "clocks indicate" relativistic moron

No, I won't.
Yeah, yeah. I know. Your guru has said I should.
If I won't it will mean I'm stupid and not 
understanding the brilliant ideas of your guru. 
Screw it, I won't.

> Your point-of-view is whatever arrives at your ears, your eyes, your body.  The experiences of these senses are "viewed or existing independently and not in relation to other things; not relative or comparative."  That's the definition of absolute.

And what you said doesn't match this definition at all.
That's because you were lying.

No, I didn't.
1)it doesn't match your definition
2)Even if it did, according to your principles
it's my definition that counts when I speak.

Who told you such a horrible bullshit?
Trains have no points of view. They never
had. Well, maybe with the exception of
trains from some childs cartoons. Get
conscious, man...


> I'd rather not get into labeling people as "stupid" but Barbara does not have "mathematically justifiable semantic freedom"

You have no "mathematically justifiable semantic freedom"
to say Barbara does not have "mathematically justifiable 
semantic freedom". But you did anyway. Barbara can do 
the same.

I don't understand how this website makes clear that gravitational time dilation is "bullshit" but it does appear to have some different numbers.

https://confluence.qps.nl/display/KBE/UTC+to+GPS+Time+Correction

Look at the table.  The difference between UTC and GPS have been changing.  17 seconds since 1980.  

17 seconds from 1980 to 2015 is  

17/(35 years)(365.25 days/year) = 1.33 milliseconds per day

That comes out about three times higher than the 45 microseconds per day reported on

My guru has nothing to do with it.  When I turn my head, I see motion.  If I didn't then I would always be looking at the same spot on the wall, and life would be quite dull.

I wasn't lying.  You have made me a liar in your own eyes by reinterpreting the words I am using and giving them false meaning, or meaning you believe to be false.

My definition of "absolute" is a dictionary definition "viewed or existing independently and not in relation to other things; not relative or comparative".  I think that this definition applies very well to the activation of rods and cones in the retina.  That these absorptions of energy of rods and cones in the retina can be viewed independently; not in relation to other things outside the retina.  Not relative or comparitive with anything outside the retina.

According to my principles, it is the definition meant by the speaker that matters.  When you say that I am a liar because you are able to assign definitions to my words which I did not mean or even intend, it is you who are assigning the false definitions to my words.  

These things happen.  People misunderstand each other.  The question is whether you are DELIBERATELY misinterpreting and misunderstanding my words, and assigning false meaning to what I am saying.  And I genuinely think you are.  I think you have cynical principles that somehow justify this kind of activity.  

Indeed, there may be some good that comes out of it, if by accusing me of lying that either one of us could come closer to understanding truth.  

At least you are not deleting my posts, which happens on moderated forums.

However, I think you are much more likely to get the effect of greater understanding by, for instance, asking for clarification--rather than making accusations of deliberate falsehood.

Again, your protests against a train having a "point-of-view" being "horrible bullshit" seems a rather pointless temper-tantrum.  Of course a train has a point-of-view.  It is the place where you would put eyes, or a camera to observe, or film the point-of-view.

You may throw all the tantrums you wish, but the fact is that every surface of the train represents a unique perspective, and a unique point-of-view.

And you don't even need a surface to describe a unique point-of-view.  You could describe what things would look like, even from a position at which there are no particles.

I don't think it takes any great mathematical mind to demonstrate that Barbara got up 15 km in front of the trolley.  

But I'd be very impressed if you could show me mathematically justifiable semantic freedom to say that Barbara got up behind the trolley.  (Okay, that was a lie.  I suspect that any such attempt would be resoundingly unimpressive, since there is no WAY, within the context of the problem that Barbara got up behind the trolley, without deliberate misinterpretation of the context.)

The clocks don't go slower for real. As I've said, when these morons
write "clocks go slower" they only mean "they obviously would if they
were proper".

And it has completely nothing in common with them.

Wrong.

As I've said, that's a lie, and you'll never said this idiocy for real.
You only do it for theoretical consideration.
Anway, I'm NOT going to follow. I don't see moving buildings
and I won't see them, even if a million of gurus will shout
"you're stupid".

|My definition of "absolute" is a dictionary definition "viewed or existing 
independently and not in relation to other things; not relative or 
comparative".

If we met at the street, you would say exactly oppositely.
Is this is your " independently and not in relation to other
things; not relative or comparative"?

|According to my principles, it is the definition meant by the speaker that 
matters.

Yes, but at almost the same moment you say "By effective you mean moral
because my definition says so". I can guess you invented your principles
to demand them from others, only. Not surprising.

Again, it seems. Again, no, it hasn't. And pears don't grow on a willow.

Yes, I could describe. Buildings are not moving, pears don't grow
on willow and Barbara woke up in her house.

Yes, it doesn't take any great mathematical mind.  It takes
a brainwashed moron instead.

Do you know what mathematics is?
There is NO mathematical theories of Barbaras, houses, trolleys
and waking up. And even if they existed, mathematics obeys
the GIGO rule (if you take stupid axioms, you'll get stupid
statements).

If we met on the street, I would tell you that a coordinate system tied to Jupiter would be just as valid as a coordinate system tied to Venus, Earth, or Mars.  A coordinate system attached to my current point-of-view is also valid.

Some astronomers will argue that the earth goes around the sun, and the earth spins on its axis.  So they picture things from that "sidereal" perspective.  

However, we, as humans, do not have the option to actually view the world from that sidereal perspective.  We can only send out probes, and live vicariously through them.  Or we can view the world from our own eyes.  

Some points-of-view give greater knowledge than others, but all those points-of-view are "existing independently and not in relation to" other points-of-view.

One of those moral standards I have is that I try to understand what people mean when they speak.  I try not to misrepresent them.  I try to understand what they say, and repeat it back to them in my own words, and hope they will politely clarify, if I have misunderstood.  

When, instead, someone mocks my words, deliberately misrepresents my ideas, and calls a liar, I think it makes sense to request that the other tries to adopt (or raise himself to) my moral standards.  It's meant to be a polite request.  I don't plan on "demanding" that you adopt my principles, or suing you for defamation of character.    

I'm just pointing out that you have your principles, which seem to allow you to reject dictionary definitions of words on your whim, so that you can testify against other's character and intelligence.  

And I have my principles, among which is "Judge not, lest ye be judged" and "Do not do unto others what you wouldn't want to have done to you."  and "Before you judge someone, take a walk in their shoes."

But I've already walked in these shoes your wearing... You think...

• I "should" call people stupid when they are wrong.  Or 
• I "should" cling to my own definitions of words when listening to others, or 
• I "should not" ask your strawman what he means by "the pears grow on a willow", and that 
• I "should not" make ad personam arguments, 

I've been down that road before.  I've called people stupid when I thought they were wrong.  I've insisted on using my own definitions when listening to others.  I've mocked ideas because they sounded absurd.  And I've rejected things that I thought were fallacy, but were not fallacy.

I've walked far enough in those shoes to know "Judge not" doesn't apply here.  I have walked a mile in those shoes, and those shoes are no good.

I am not going to put those shoes back on, and I am not going to take your advice on what I "should" or "should not" do unless it is consistent with my own principles, or represents some actual improvement on my principles.

Other than your proven ability to mock and misunderstand words, is there any reason that I should stop saying "point-of-view?"

Barbara woke up in her house....

Well, that's true... 

A million gurus screaming "your stupid" would not make you wrong, but this answer doesn't show me they are wrong either.

The question wasn't whether Barbara woke up in her house or not.  The question was where was Barbara and her house when she woke up?

Was her house behind the trolley when she woke up, or was it in front of the trolley when she woke up?

Barbara pointed behind the trolley, at the current location of her house.  The man pointed in front of the trolley, at the past location of her house.

Which one is more correct?  We're talking about an event in the past, so the one pointing to the past location of the house is more correct.
