Hmm, okay, I think I understand. For the record, the 'sounds dubious' comment was directed at the claim that we know the "exact" age of the moon. It is more a criticism of shoddy journalism than a statement of my knowledge of the subject. I know enough to know that we cannot pinpoint the "exact" age of the moon. And the 'knowledgeable astronomers' claim was almost more of a meek confession that idk wtf I am talking about. It was not meant sarcastically at all. I know a little, but not as much as people who went to school and do this stuff professionally. Everyone, please note: I'm not trying to back-peddle or make excuses or anything like that here, just explaining my reasoning. (Edit: but thanks for the criticism, it really does help to see your point of view on these things. This is a discussion board after all.)
