By the way, the ridiculous debate about the radiation from "both

Yes, Paul's web site is indeed in serious need of correction. He should
correct it lest someone might think he is an idiot.
Horace Heffner, it matters very little what most people think of me. What
matters is truth and logic.
It says: "Blackbody
radiation: At a room temperature of 297 Kelvin (74.93 F, 23.85 C) both
sides of a thin sheet of opaque material radiates 882.4 Watts per square
meter. " See:

I patiently await its correction.
It will be updated today, just for you. :-) BTW, I sent an email to a qualified
individual, so we'll see what the final word is.
Riddle: Bob and John both run at 10 MPH. How fast does Bob run?
Riddle: Both Bob and John run at 10 MPH. How fast does Bob run?
IMHO that's an inaccurate example. This seems far more accurate, "Bob and John
both weigh 882.4 pounds." Or even, "Bob and John weigh 882.4 pounds." Notice
there's no word "each," just as in my original text.
