**Moderator Note**

**chowching** , at this point it’s been amply explained to you why this line of reasoning is wrong. You have been given factual answers to your question; I regard your continued arguing nonsense based on no more than your personal opinion as verging on trolling. I don’t believe that you really don’t understand the argument. Therefore I am closing this. Don’t play this game again in General Questions.
