@matigo I thought the reverse. But we're getting puerile here.

@matigo Obviously I mostly agree with you. Although the buried alive thing does haunt me.
@tomas I think societal idiocy when it comes to the human body knows no bounds.

@tomas In all fairness to boobies, couldn't they be dual-purpose?

@indigo It's been around a fair bit, with a very interesting commentary on Language Log. They pointed out that it isn't quite as hard and fast as it seems. But still, very interesting.
@kdfrawg I'm not playing. I'm just trying to point out that without some pretty good instrumentation and a firm belief in and trust of authority, it isn't that easy a concept to grasp experientially.

Photos from space is good, I agree. But honestly, it isn't that easy. Just as it isn't that easy to show, from down here, with nothing but experience, that the earth goes round the Sun, rather than vice versa.
That's the whole point about science. It is hard, and it is counterintuitive.
