Horace, you might as well give up. Jerks like Lowrance, with their inflated egos and solipsistic interpretations of the validity of their own ideas and language are undefeatable with mere words - they desperately need repeated hard slaps around the face until they stop. His pathetic, extraordinarily "fuzzy" logical defense of his originally (highly ambiguous) statement about black body radiation from a surface is a "smoking gun" that shows he is incapable of realising his own objectionable idiocy. He should realise that the function of language is to accurately communicate to another what you mean - not to write ambiguous phrases that obfuscate clear interpretation. He is undoubtedly an adolescent who thinks he is pretty hot stuff. He is no better than the Red Queen, in Alice in Wonderland, who said that "words mean exactly what I want them to mean". I once tried to point out the error in his thinking that so-called thermal noise could be rectified to produce useful power but he was so thick or egotistical, and in love with his own imagined genius, that he was incapable of seeing it... Anyone who seems to believe that computer simulations trump reality is beyond help.
LOL, it seems the thugs are all out in force backing each other up now. Retreat, retreat, lol.
