re: #354 Dark_Falcon

I’m charging that Ehrlich got the parameters of the equation grotesquely wrong and thus is unreliable.

Ehrlich used the equation in a restricted application that used the wrong constraints. He made a prediction, not a prophecy, based on narrow values extant at the time. The equation has a larger and more general application.

You are using Ehrlich’s failed prediction to discount the general equation. Because of your focus on Ehrlich, you have missed seeing how the equation still applies.
