Hi! Turtle

I remember a similar circumstance with Dr. Benoit Mandelbrot and his new mathematics of fractal geometry.

His colleagues (mathematicians) that he respected turn against him and reacted with scorn toward his fractal geometry. Saying that fractal geometry is worthless and that fractal was considered as an artifact of his stupid computing machine, it’s useless and ridiculous.

So just to clarify the strategy you're using here: You believe that you can obviate the need to address any objections to your proposed theory by drawing comparisons between yourself and Benoit Mandelbrot.

I would like to say that I believe that this strategy may prove ineffective in supporting acceptance of your proposed theory.

It should be noted that unlike you, Benoit Mandelbrot actually provided answers to the objections posed by his peers, and indeed over time they came to accept his work.

At this rate, I do not see a parallel to your own path.

Pardon, sir; error: he is not quantity enough for that Worthy's thumb: he is not so big as the end of his club,

But, isn't this marvelous discovery a "so What?" discovery? So what if there is a little bit on the left and a little bit on the right? Does that change anything?

I congratulate Guadalupe for making strides in reason. That is always admirable. That is why we have schools. But in the end Guadalupe, a discovery has to be of some significance. Your's, even if new to scientific community, has none.

You are proposing that we should be precise and accurate in our measurements. Thank you for that advice!

Well, it's not so much a "discovery" as its merely a confusion of integers with real numbers.

I would also point out that Mandelbrot was doing something new. This line of thinking was properly studied 3000 years ago. It has been formalized in modern times by others including Peano. They disagree with your point of view.
