im asking this in a serious way, and i'm sincerely NOT trying to heckle you, or even argue with your basic stance here. i'm merely confused...
you typed:
"Consider this: which hurts more when applied to the head with equal force, a sharp object or a blunt object? Which is more likely to crack under a given stress, a thin object or a thick one? I don't know about you, but 'common sense' tells me the answer is the latter in both cases. "
did you maybe mean "the former in both cases"?
D'oh. I'll go back and edit that right now.
See? Common sense does work. You spotted the truth even though I typed to the contrary.
