For especially the noobs, I wanted to take the time to post my sense of what a victory looks like. In this thread, we demolished EnaG. Especially successful was showing the Rowbotham did not understand the concept of momentum and his incorrect application of it to the cannon shooting straight up experiment. He then based later chapters on this erroneous result, and the entire EnaG falls for want of support.
Tom Bishop, an FEer, seemed to be the only one coming to the aid of Rowbotham. Unfortunately, Tom Bishop chose two very wrong approaches. First, he threw the baby out with the bathwater when he withdrew support for any illustrations in EnaG. Rowbotam did some excellent work on the illustrations, but rather than admit the Rowbotham did not under momentum, Tom Bishop said that the publisher had simply not been true in reproducing Rowbotham's illustrations.
Second, Tom Bishop tries to redefine acceleration in vain This results in a great parallel with Thork's recent refusal to accept that the ISS accelerates.
Now, how do we know when an FEer has admitted defeat? I hope that every good scientist admits his or her error; however, we don't see that very often from an FEer. Here it's clear that a cannon set deep in sand is not accelerating, so Tom Bishop is wrong, so Rowbotham is wrong, and EnaG is worthless. Rather than post his admission of defeat, Tom Bishop just stopped posting, but keeps visiting the forums. We need to learn to take the "disappearance" from a thread as resignation. (We will hear from both Tom Bishop and Thork excuses from illness to being busy to allegations of already demonstrating their success. Don't let FEers bait you with those excuses.)
