> I just figured it'd be nice to have a single relatively short place to address the most common myths about tidal-locked planets, and particularly their climate, for easy reference. Well that's nice and all, but this sort of explanation is hard to take! How can one verify that whatever-it-is about tidally locked planets, is not also a myth? Sure, these might be better set of guesses and assumptions, but it still cannot debunk myths. To see what I mean, I can debunk the idea that the gods live on top of Mount Olympus by climbing the mountain and checking. I can't check any of these potentially valid deductions. In fact, he could make the exact opposite points, and I would have no idea. None of us would.
