Let’s take a poll shall we.
If an object is in a different location then previously located then it must have moved or been moved.
I think he is somehow getting caught up on “same shoulder”. Using his logic, one would argue that a surfer is not riding the “same wave” because they are passing over many different molecules in their ride.
His logic would also say if you had a goal post outlined in chalk and you wanted to move the goal posts so you took up the chalk and put down some more where you wanted them to be, you didn’t actually move the goal post, rather eliminated one set and created new ones. In order to really move the goal posts, you would need to keep every grain of chalk in the same position relative to one another in transferring their relative position....perhaps say you didn’t move any posts, at all as there were no vertical upright timber or metal involved at all...
There are people out there that enjoy that kind of argument, I’d rather talk religion or politics than argue semantics with someone that knows enough to understand what others are talking about, not to mention common language universally accepted. That said, I don’t even get bent out of shape when people refer to a magazine as a clip, even if it’s Remington...
