Obviously. Because it's actually a complete > non sequitur. You don't get it do you? The 5 spin positions relate to the five *elementary* particles that have one or the other positions. I highlight elementary because *that* is the link = Two uses of the *word* elementary, one correct - particles with no inner structure that therefore cannot be dismantled further - and the old Greek idea about elements, which is incorrect as they aren't elementary. And even if they were elements and couldn't be dismantled I *still* wouldn't get the connection that apparently means an Indian book is somehow mirrored subatomically.
