"it ain't science if you can't reduce it to a sound-bite"?

But that's science, you see? You'd know to define what you meant by - sound byte. Then one could answer.

Reducing things to a single sentence isn't science, in fact it's the exact opposite of science. Science is about expanding a single sentence to understand the mechanics behind that sentence. Gravity is a fine example, everybody already knew that when you held an object above all support and let go of it the object fell, that was the single sentence everybody was happy with "unsuported things fall", Newton wasn't happy with that and expanded that into a large series of sentences explaining how it fell down how different objects fell at different rates and how falling could be manipulated. Reducing things back down to one sentence is undoing science.

Oh, I see. Had I used the (inaccurate) term sound byte, you would have understood my point, and supplied something resembling a cogent response. Wordsmithing (especially incompetent wordsmithing) generally indicates an interest only in obfuscation (confirmed by the balance of your posts).
