Default Re: OT:Tempted to get this book

Since it brings up that 'if it only moves halfway' arguement, I'm as skeptical about it as I am about the other book.

That supposed quandry has been solved numerous times. It only moves halfway if you only look at half the time. It imposes an artificial restriction on a natural phonomenon and then claims that the natural phonomenon must follow this artificial restriction and therefore this natural canot phonomenon occur. How are we to get rid of this quandary? Same way a rational person solves all arguements involving arrows and turtles.

Sorry, I think I was too sarcastic here.
