[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7888647, member: 4348"] And on this thought above, I thought I'd put in my own little thought pertaining to the absolute necessities of why A+B should not equal C, because when C is added, it is adding far too much. Better than to simply have A+B rather than add C, because as we know, C detracts too much from A and B. In the occasion when C is added, and A+B=C is unavoidable, by no means should we add D or Y or X to this formula. I find that when those darn Aliens from Alpha Centauri wish to add X, Y, or D, it makes the entire formula an absolute torrent of unacceptable ratios, graphs, and formulas. Before you know it, not only was it A+B = C in the past, but now we suddenly have (A+X) + (B+Y) = C or some such, it can even get more insane as they continue volumes of additional reformations of the same configuration. Then we suddenly have an even more complex D(AX-BY) - P(CZ - B) = WV. Why can't we just simply it to F(x) or F(z) rather than go through all the byzantine complications of continuously changing the formula? It absolutely detracts from the fun of A+B=C when we add in other additions to the abstract notations of our ideas. If we keep it simple, anyone can understand that A+B=C, but how many really can comprehend that ~D(∞[B]π) [/B]- (AB)ˣ = Y when presented in such a way that adds so many nonsense arbitrations of abstract notation? So, verily you will understand my consternation at such additions to my formulas. I cannot comprehend how I can simply see A+B=C in the same light ever again. Though I'd love to continue, I find I am fast running out of thought to present, so will simply have to end this discussion of my dislike of additional modifiers soon. In addition, I am running out of words and vocabulary supported by my 3rd grade level of English perfection, thus I must soon make my concluding point before the neutron pulses of Orion's Belt inaugurate a fatal pulse of solar magnetism. As such, I'd like to conclude by absolutely stating...A Goblin might not be able to kill a Dragon but with a fairly odd roll of 20 vs. the Dragons unfortunate day of only rolling 1s. [/QUOTE]
