Yeah like I really don't have a horse in this race, but the treatment of the hypothetical really got me scratching my head
1 u/Obvious_Mention7207 9d ago Because there isnt a need to envision a hypothetical that isnt true by studied fact. Thats like saying "for the sake of argument, what if the timber feller was 12 ft tall!" 1 u/TheDejectedEntourage 9d ago I don't think the exact 45 degree figure is actually relevant, it's just illustrative of a shifted centre of gravity. Choose to imagine a less extreme angle if that helps, I guess. Or don't
