Note that skeptigirl said nothing of any bison, but responded only to Claus's first question about the mammoth.
Note that I mention the bison later.
Claus then introduces the comment about the bison as "In the case of the bison, we know that it survived the impact because there's new bone growth around these marks." Which has nothing to do with a dead mammoth or how meteorite fragments in a mammoth's tusk would kill a mammoth.
I didn't claim it had.
Well, considering you asked how a mammoth could be killed by asteroid chunks hitting its tusk, with skeptigirl responding that it could have something to do not so much with the asteroid chunks in the tusk but the blast that might well have accompanied it...
No, no, no. I asked skeptigirl how she could possibly mistake "bison" for "mammoth" in the quote I posted in post #38.
Not to mention the question itself was pretty bloody ridiculous. Why couldn't the mammoth have suffered soft tissue damage from other bits of asteroid that didn't impact the bone? Who knows? It's not such a complexing question to wonder how the mammoth died.
Where did I reject the idea that the mammoth could have suffered soft tissue damage from other bits of asteroid that didn't impact the bone?
Now...this was a follow-up question later introduced by Claus which was not present when skeptigirl first responded. He then accuses her of getting confused by the bison and the mammoth - when it was he who slipped in the quote "In the case of the bison, we know that it survived the impact because there's new bone growth around these marks."
Insane just doesn't cover it.
More dishonest tactics. More lies. And worse yet, over what? No woo here, no bad science. Just an interesting discussion.
Seriously Claus, this as trolling as behaviour gets.
But I'm sure you'll evade with another lie. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Oh, I see.
I'm insane, dishonest, trolling and lying, because I manage to "slip in" a quote about the bison.
Yes, that was really devious of me.
So, do you seriously think that 'blast' insinuates the air is being propelled with the same force over the same distance as the asteroid shrapnel?
Of course not.
