In any other context when someone tries to demand the impossible from me, I just say "you show me how to do it". But all the time politicians prestidigitate directives without any clue how it might be actually done. It's like that guy that tried to decree that pi=3.


The irony is that the pi == 3 argument comes from failing to read correctly/follow directions accurately for 1 Kings 7:23 --- the ratio of 3 to the diameter is for the _inner_ circumference --- when one includes the thickness of the wall, then it comes out to 3.14 which is a workable approximation.
