Beats me- I thought I was pretty much stating facts to the best of my knowledge. If there are inaccuracies, then correction is appropriate.
Quote:1) Because "nothing" happened on a particular date?. That goes against what Ra said about dates. Approximation is approximation...however, if there is no significant change (I would say within 2 yrs), then I would probably agree with gradual shift.
Yes, but what is the "litmus test" of "something happening"? The world is changing all the time. Speaking if a "gradual shift" is non-falsifiable since at any given moment, things are shifting.
Quote:2) 'Quantum leap" is a quantum leap. There is no way around it according to (since) 1980's common knowledge.
That's true. We have had other discussions about what the "quantum leap" is. All we can definitively say at this point is what it is NOT.
