I'd say what you just wrote is the silly rationalization. You could also say piano lessons teach you how to push down the keys of a piano. That's just playing with words. They're teaching a technique that they expect, or say they expect, to enable you to fly. > They have never shown how hopping can become flying--with good > reason, as they can't. Assuming they could, how *would* they show that, exactly? I don't know what you mean by "how hopping can become flying." I mean, on the face of it, hopping could become flying if you didn't come down after rising into the air. If you're saying they can't demonstrate not coming down, that isn't in contention. So I'm confused as to what point you're making. > And originally, as many have pointed out, the flying and hopping > language was interchangeable. True, I've pointed that out myself.

Seems like a non sequitur. The issue here was whether they ever refer to hopping rather than flying. ------------------------ Yahoo!
