Well, thanks for the lengthy analysis, but the fact remains that the corn mazes, some of which are pictorial with near photographic detail and extremely elaborate, are laid out via GPS. So, these errors that you cite must be consistent enough to allow the mapping out and construction of such things, otherwise they wouldn’t be being made, now would they?
Remember, I’m talking about the ever-popular “Maize Maze” that children love so, not the magical mystery crop circles, not that the one can’t describe the other.
I can’t speak to the *techniques* that those creators of those humanly-made designs used, along with their GPS devices (I would think of line-of-sight, physical distance measurements and compass points to supplement and make more accurate).
However, the big problem would be to make it precise, and also to do so in a minimal amount of time. I can get GPS to be very precise, just by itself, but it takes money, specialized and expensive equipment and a lot of time. For all I know, they did so over days and days, and took their time to get it all right, which would be something (with that sort of methodology) which could be done. And if I were to do that and do it right and very precise, I would use every technique I could come up with and take plenty of time and *get it right*. And with that, I could probably make an exquisite crop circle.
But, to really speak to it, I would have to see what their technique was. That would be a key and critical thing to evaluate. I can only guess about it as we speak, right now.
However, the one thing that I don’t have to guess about, since it’s *so well documented* is the error that is inherent in GPS devices. There’s no question about that.
And furthermore, when talking about crop circles (even with one removing the time constraint issue), one still has to deal with the other measurable parameters that have not been demonstrated by those other humanly-made designs. No one has been able to reproduce those. So, I haven’t see any way for that to be done.
WRONG
1. Corn is in rather consistent neat rows because it’s planted by machine. So, the vertical, say would be easy to follow.
2. Corn is larger . . . again . . . easier from a design stand point in a lot of respects.
