Easyg...Where to start. I won't try to convince you. You make a lot of relatively true statements in your posts. You just happen to be mostly dead wrong where you disagree with my posts.
Now, as for the matter of a difference between COG and COM, I am in complete agreement. These are two TOTALLY different things.
Take a theoretical perfect cylinder of consistent density that is exactly 10 miles tall. It's COM will be exactly 5 miles down from the top. The COG will be 5 miles plus maybe a centimeter from the top. This is because the force of gravity is stronger at the bottom than it is at the top.
But if you are suggesting a practical difference between COG and COM on a human-sized object, you must be using an electron microscope for a sight.
Q. "Besides, tell me again why you would choose the pelvis"
A. I never said I would.
For your sake, please figure out what point you are trying to make before you fire off your next offensive post.
P.S. I've ordered xrays on many people with hip fractures that could not stand. Take note; I state this only as part of this pissing contest you have instigated , not that it actually proves anything - as if I were even trying to take sides on where best to shoot someone...which I'm not, frankly.
