Who cares about the reason, Oddball.  We all have our reasons, perverted
or otherwise.  To a genuine physicist, all problems, irrespective of the
source, should be an interesting challenge.  Else you are just a phony.

But *you* certainly seem intent on showing off your supposed powers of
psychological inference.

(Need I remind you that psychology is a pussy profession.)

I specified "land," which excludes ships.

But another question, energy for energy, would be more efficient
to offload a container ship in LA, transfer to rail, and then
transport to NYC.  Or would it be better to sail the same ship
from LA to NYC through the Strait of Magellan.  (This ship is
much bigger than Panamax.)
