Please explain to the studio audience your "take" on everything, and more importantly, how you believe that having a "dated" take enabled you to have a "take" on "everything", when ALL of the information about "everything" had not been known at the point you established your "dated take".

That was then. This is now.

And, no help from the studio audience, please.

I "take" it you are not able to EXPLAIN "everything".

An acronym, wolram, is not an explanation, but you "know" that.

If it was possible to travel in "time", and it is not, would you wolram, have intended to be a humble and joyful individual that gladly shared with other individuals ORIGINAL thoughts on any particular subject, rather than an individual that is so full of arrogance and demands so much attention for his "self" that he would create a thread on a public forum proclaiming his ability to "know-it-all", only to spew abbreviated sentences and tired old acronyms, without SINCERITY. And, by demanding attention to his self, rendered him FULLY EXPOSED to any "challenge" that he puts forth.

Now, wolram, everyone on the planet that has access to the internet and can understand english is able to be aware that the individual behind the word "wolram", on Physics Forums, in fact does NOT "know-it-all", and that ultimately, your conceited belief that was not "right" obligates every individual that intends to believe what you say to contemplate the question, "wolram was not 'right' then, is he not 'right' now?"

Credibility is everything.

wolram, can you say "not wise"? You "know" you can.
