Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests


Why is it that so many well-intentioned threads devolve into wordsmithing contests? Is it necessary to argue about the meaning of posts when the language thereof is reasonably clear on its face?

Personally, I think M.C. Escher should get credit for the double helix; he had drawings of it a decade before Watson & Crick came along.

Perhaps you mean Möbius strip.

Pop quiz - what happens to a Möbius strip when you cut it in half length wise, down the centerline of the strip?

part 2 - what happens when you cut the result of part 1 in half, similarly?

Is that wordsmithing? 😳
yeah, I believe that was the title of the piece.......i will guess you will end up with the same thing you started with after cutting, just a smaller version? what do I win? or do I lose?
