Hm. That 16% difference reminds me of the 60% point Miles Mathis makes in his infamous 'pi'='4' [single quotes INTENTIONAL.] paper (which ISN'T what people think. Numerous people tried to debunk it and I would absolutely LOVE to see a proper debunking of it, but each 'debunker' actually only skimmed his writing, or only read one of his papers on it instead of all of them, and constructed bad counter arguments as a consequence.)

- mannykannot 9y agoThe short version has a simple but fundamental error in the use of limits, and so as long as the author claims that this contains the essence of his argument, there seems little point in wading through the full work, especially as it is written in an extremely discursive manner, to put it charitably.
