If we are creative and let all other interesting themes to fork out from original idea then this thread can go on forever.
One could say that the thread has evolved. I wouldn't, but one could say that.
Like everything here, it has decomposed into babble about small details, aspects and semantics, as opposed to actually talking about whether the theory is fundamentally sound or not. Like talking about the burden of truth, for instance, instead of that, try this:
The difference in distance would be so small as to be negligible.
Sir, i respectfully think your assertion is false.
And I don't give a god-fucking-damn about the burden of truth, i just think you sort of didn't do any research, or if you did, you have a traumatic brain injury, and you somehow forgot that the evidence was counter to your point, then didn't put it in there anyway, again, due to your traumatic brain injury. You would need to have memory loss to the extreme for that to be the case. Really, that wouldn't even be that sad, it would just be impressive, like when Baxter ate a whole wheel of cheese in the Anchorman, the Ron Burgundy Story. I could compare this to the quote that goes something along the lines of 'one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic' which I believe was said by whatshisname mcRussianleaderson. Seriously though, scientists would study you. A person in such a position might be likely to drink a lot of alcohol, because they would drink, find themselves in a bar with no memory of the past, and order another drink due to them not knowing they've already had too many. This kind of issue might be compounded by the memory loss-inducing effects of alcohol. I suppose the worst case scenario might be if you watched a move like Full Metal Jacket, then looked out the window and saw an Asian dude, then strangled him with his own intestines until his eyeballs burst. Crazy times we live in where a man like you can strangle a Vietnamese immigrant with a part of his own digestive tract and get away with it due to his chronic memory loss. Best case scenario, live life to the fullest because everything's a new experience and you have no stress. I mean, imagine if every bite of every cheeseburger you ever ate tasted like the most delicious, new, hope giving, amazing thing you had ever eaten. I don't even think they should call that memory loss, I think they should call it peace of mind gain. Unless of course you strangle they guy I buy my opium from with his own intestines, in which case I would call it freedom loss. And for me, opium loss. Poppy needs his opium. ZING!
But I digest.
