Actually, no.
Maybe you wouldn't understand as you seem prone to ignorant remarks.

I have to wonder what provoked such a hostile response to a lady like MD Expat in PA. She gave you a little gentle teasing and you answered with a direct insult. I’ve just finished reading back through a few weeks’ worth of her FR posts, and I was impressed with her intelligence and the clarity with which she expresses well-reasoned views. I could not find one example of the “ignorant remarks” you say she is prone to.

I’m sorry you took offence. I really wasn’t trying to insult you; that wasn’t my intention, I was just poking some good natured fun with how your post was worded.
OTHO, I am not an academic either, nor am I a physicist or even an amateur physicist although I’m fascinated by the subject. So if I went to a university on one of my “occasional visits” with my HR background and proposed a completely new and radical theory of gravity to a real physicist and he or she said, “would you be interested in writing a paper on the topic?”, I’d either be highly impressed with my own brilliance or gather that I was being summarily dismissed in the gentlest and politest way possible.
Perhaps in your case the geologist was indeed impressed, one way or another. : ),
