Occasionally they are all wrong and I find _that_ fact to be
more interesting than their insistance they are always right.
Physics are not immutable laws of the universe, they are 'best
guess' until proven wrong and replaced by a new 'law' which is
really just another 'best guess'. Math is the only exact
science and when you toss in Trig it becomes another 'best
guess' and loses it's claim of perfection.

CJ> American College Dictionary, in the entry for "magisterial"

No, I'm sorry. You use whatever words you want to use and when
they have little to no meaning in my life I will ignore you.
