I'm really impressed Richard. 8-)
I didn't think anyone on Vortex would geddit.
As for Stefan's Law (and all the quantum consequences)
it's more like a one legged stool. That's why they
have to be so clever to keep their balance. ;-)
I've written a little fable to illustrate the point.

THE BROTHERS SHORTPLANK
----------------------------------------------------
The two Shortplank Brothers had a great cubic pile
of bread pallets. Tricky Dicky offered to buy half
the bread. So the Shortplanks measured the cube and
found it was 40 feet long. Tricky took away his
pallets. To make sure Tricky hadn't taken too many
the Shortplanks measured their cubic pile to check
it was 20 feet long.
It was.
Dicky started selling his bread at half Shortplank's
price The Shortplank brothers couldn't understand
how Tricky managed this. Needless to say, ere long,
the brothers went out of business.
Hence the saying, "As thick as two Shortplanks". 8-)
