Yet if you go to the Education Forum you cannot respond to Gordon-approved Rube Goldberg pro-ROKC 'expert' Sandy Larsen who settles this complex geometry by simply pointing to the portal ceiling and saying "look at the visible perspective shifting on the ceiling". Larsen did not complain about my brute banning from the Education Forum because he, like Stancak, directly benefits from his idle-minded psuedo-analyses not being challenged on that board through my flagrant removal. Meanwhile a more credible look at the perspective properties of the portal would realize perspective exists in a complex parabolic relationship to lens level where the ceiling possesses one scale and the heads of Prayer Man and Frazier a completely different one. This flies right over the head of moderator Gordon who should never be allowed anywhere near moderation of this level of science. Perhaps Gordon would be more at home at a table manners website more suited to his skill level, however he shouldn't be let near academic discourse of this degree of contention. He's a flagrant ROKC shill pretending to be a credible moderator. A playing field the majority don't mind because it spares them the egotistical discomfort of admitting they were wrong.
Drew Phipps' trigonometry puts the perspective shift at no more than 1/12th of an inch, which is more like .1%.
