“I think that point was previously conceded and you are/were correct.”

“Thank you. Now I can get on with my life : )”

Uh, LeGrande, your forgetting about the other little detail.

While you were right about the apparent and actual positions not being the same, you are dead wrong about them being 2.1° apart.

At least you have completely failed to demonstrate otherwise.

While you were right about the apparent and actual positions not being the same, you are dead wrong about them being 2.1° apart.

At least you have completely failed to demonstrate otherwise.

Then do this little experiment. Go outside on a sunny day at noon and pound a stake into the ground, so that there is no shadow. Then 8.3 minutes later pound another stake into the ground so that there is no shadow from it either and make it so that the points of the stakes that you drove in the ground meet each other. Measure the angle. If it isn't close to 2.1 degrees, I will publicly and humbly admit that I was wrong.

Will you do the same if it is close to 2.1 degrees?

Can you think of a better demonstration to prove or disprove the assertion?
