As I'll take your unintelligible babble and references as a concession to not knowing what you are referencing, rather using "the first thing google tells me" as a valid reference. Pathetic attempt to underscore me is pathetic and above your meager means.

Would you not flunk a student for this type of ineptness? You aren't scraping the bottom of the barrel, you aren't even close to the outside of a barrel. Even including your name in the same sentence including the word "barrel" is an insult to a barrel.

So I have said "Resolution is a marketing term" and you provide slight that says "Resolution is great!" from people selling resolution, with charts that are horrific that even downies could trump within a minute.

Did you even listen to the podcast I posted? Did you even listen? Did you even listen? Apparently you didn't, as it explains clearly why YOUR EYES CAN NOT SEE SHIT THEY CAN'T SEE! But did you listen to the podcast? As common courtesy you need to listen to the podcast as it is a mutually beneficial podcast to enlighten us.

This is the opposite of what I say, again it's your perspective.

I say my piece, loud at that, and then people interpret that as "Luke's Gospel". But when I say "Love Root Beer barrels, not a fan of sour Gummy Bears" people take it as "If you like sour Gummy Bears, Luke disagrees with you". This is the same stupid approach some mods on this forum take, who are quick to judge and not actually take the time to read what I post.

And fart if I'm going to use "proof" from some bs website that is "the first thing on google".

But you dont say that. You say you like something or think a certain way, and explicitly say or imply, with choice of words that conveys a tone, that anyone who disagrees or does otherwise is an idiot/moron/fool etc...

Dear Diary,

Today Luke successfully trolled quite a few of us on Racketboy. It was impressive and I'm a little jealous.

Yours truly,

P.S. I know I said I'd stop wasting time at that place but I enjoy the anger in my place of feelings.

Sure, but I'm not a name caller. If someone reads my posts and then feels like an idiot..My fault?

No.

And I'm open to debate, as long as the evidence makes a bit of sense. Dave's graph is nonsense and laughable. I mean, it actually say "Benefits starts". That's dumb on so many levels.

That said, I shot Dish a pm earlier this morning that I was going to rag on him. Lighten up people, even if you are morons, etc.

Lol he isnt really trolling, he is probably more angered than the rest of us, of which I have no anger. These little discussions pop up often.

You said, "Google Why 4K is dumb". I did, and shared a couple of articles that supported your general assumption but also granted certain contexts where it isn't so dumb and where the resolution shift is discernible. You derided the results as buzzfeed fodder.

So, I eventually produced a subsequent post with more supporting expertise from people in the fields where matters of resolution, the biology of the eye, etc. are studied. They supported the "buzzfeed fodder" articles. You ignored this post.

The idea of "benefits starting" at point X on that chart isn't crazy because, again, it is about the eye's perception of pixel density across distance. That said perception is better or worse at various points and that there's a place where the benefit of a better resolution begins and ends is science, not marketing nonsense.


Keep trollin' man.
