I I just posted the simple math I was talking about under the title "Geometry of SNO-T". It is just a theoretical equivalent of your "kitchen floor experiment". Some mathematicians are sometimes tend to be arogant. This can be partially explained by the nature of their profession: a habit to prove the things themselves does not teach them to respect "authorities opinion":-) And of course they make mistakes sometimes:-( Alex.
