Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests


Why is it that so many well-intentioned threads devolve into wordsmithing contests? Is it necessary to argue about the meaning of posts when the language thereof is reasonably clear on its face?

It is not 'smaller' it is narrower. Big difference. words are powerful. 
Keep cutting and eventually you will have an infinite number of them. Curiously, they will take up no more space the the one you started with.. if you pack them carefully. But my problem is... once they are infinitely thin..Do they still really HAVE a flat side??? Wouldn't the edge be way way thicker than what was the flat side when you started? So then you start cutting that edge...?? Will you eventually no longer HAVE a Mobius strip since the flats have shrunk to a one dimensional line at infinity???...   
Well???
RF got it wrong? Don't you mean for the time she had her data she hadn't fully interpreted it or analyzed it? It wasn't for anyone else to steal and have at. That's intellectual property theft. Eventually she would have gotten it.
Eventually...maybe. She shared it with W&C. Wilkens shared the Nobel. She would have had she been alive.
