His later statement INvalidates, vehemently and profoundly, his own 
attempt of making easy points. His later "alomst all of them" is in strong 
CONTRADICTION with the former "about 30-to-100 kilometers", since 100-30 
gives 70 Km, which is more than twice LARGER than his LOWER limit, of the 
30s. Mindblowing, how certain individuals can be so stupid. Just another 
EXCELLENT post from Dr. Pentcho.
