IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen.

I think someone is trying to draw attention to a typo somewhere in your post. A Vagabond doesn't think the sky is revolved by porpoises.

You could have argued the tossThe tripod WAS moving, just along with the earth.
