Satellites measure from Earth’s center of mass - which is calculated from four surface points.
Here’s another opportunity to have no sense of humor:
The following is proof that a warm beer is better than a cold beer:
Given: Nothing is better than a cold beer.
Given: A warm beer is better than nothing.
Ergo: A warm beer is better than a cold beer.
Now, you have a choice:
A) expose the fallacy in my proof, and reveal that you have no sense of humor, or
B) lighten up.
The fallacy in your proof is called “equivocation”. You probably already know that, and you probably already know which word is being equivocated.
And “lighten up” is still on the list of “BS Words and Phrases”. And “BS” stands for “Barnyard Stuff”. It could also stand for “Boron Sulfide”, a chemical compound which cannot exist. I’m not using any form of profanity, vulgarity, or obscenity.
I suggest, for your consideration, that there exist a wide variety of "senses of humor". I suggest, for your consideration, that "Mr. Jones has a very different sense of humor from me" not the same thing as "Mr. Jones has no sense of humor".
