You recall incorrectly. My complaint was not about one equation vs all. My
complaint was that you described it so badly that it was wrong, and
certainly not well enough that John would understand it correctly. Your
response is that a physicist would understand the implicit meaning of the
terms you used. Which is exactly COUNTER to what you claimed to be doing,
that is, to explain it in language that ANYONE would understand. 

If you want to take another shot at it to show me how it’s done, we can
discuss that. When you think you’re done, I can ask John a couple questions
to see if he understands your explanation.

Neither do I. The problem is, John doesn’t understand what scientists are
saying.

Why not? That’s EXACTLY what you just said discussion of physics ideas is
about. So put your money where your big mouth is and discuss the data.

I’m saying this: John lifts ideas out from a position of ignorance. He
knows no physics and so cannot check ANY of his ideas against what is
already tested and validated. I’ll give you an example. John frequently
talks about disks rotating about the perpendicular axis and precessing
about an axis in the plane of the disk, without any external source of
torque. I invite you to explain to him why this violates conservation of
angular momentum. When I’ve mentioned it, his response is that if he can
draw it happening, it must be physically allowed. So explain the data to
him.
