Couldn't you argue that it's accurate, but not precise? Or am I confusing the two terms?


You would be correct.

It's both less accurate and less precise, which is why you target things several orders or magnitude larger.

Um... No. I said that chemical weapons are the payload of choice for people who do not have accurate delivery systems *because* they do not need to be very accurate to be effective. Dude. Seriously?


So you agree that weapons of mass destruction or accurate?

Isn't that comparison the same with a knife vs a gun?

I do believe I said "Go ask a Field Artilleryman" several times. I'm not the one making up false accuracy stats.. I am a proud Signaleer

Claiming that a WMD is accurate because it totally kills the indiscriminate boatload of people that you intended it to is like claiming that McDonald's is an exclusive restaurant because they only let in the people they want to let in.

What?

I said that WMD is accurate because it fits the definition of accuracy. NO one has provided an actual definition that contradicts the accuracy of WMD only opinions on why they don't think it is.

Since when is hitting your target head on "not accurate"?

No, since with your eyesight you would miss the room entirely.

So what you're saying is I'd have to roll a natural 20 with a +5 to hit, amirite?

No, you need to hand the gun over to someone who can actually hit their target. Smiley: tongue

Give it to a Field Artilleryman. I hear they're pretty accurate.

Hey guess what, I just called Doug, who is in fact a "Field Artilleryman", and he said you are full of ****, ****, and mandick wrapped in barbed wire and cleaning solvent. He got somewhat more emotional that I expected.

He still has aids.

Are you seriously incapable of answering a simple yes or no question or something? You're hiding behind befogging words.A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice.

No, it wont. Have you stopped beating your wife yet? Yes or no answer only please.


My statement was quite clear: They (chemical weapons) do not have to be accurate to be effective. This is why they are popular for those who do not have accurate delivery systems. Was any part of that really confusing to you?

I also hate it when people change the very specific and clear words I use and insist that I must either agree or disagree 100% with their modified version of what I said. He changed "chemical weapons" to the much broader "WMDs", then spoke about the payload being accurate instead of the delivery system, then asked me to agree or disagree with that garbage. There are a host of reasons I don't play that game.

Of course you play that game. You just cry like a baby unless you're on the other side of it.

HI. I wasn't talking about this subject, but all subjects you discuss.

Idiot.

I qualify my statements when people attempt to misstate them back to me. There happen to be a number of people who do this quite often. I can only surmise it's because they find it hard to argue against the things I actually say, so they feel a need to misstate what I say so as to make an easier target. Blame them when they do this if it bothers you, but I'm absolutely going to correct them and say "Nope. That's not what I'm saying" when they do. What other choice do I have? Just agree that I said something I didn't say? That seems kinda silly.

People restate your argument back to you in the same way that therapists ask couples to restate statements between couples to make sure there is no communication error and you still say they got it wrong. Just like my ex....who was diagnosed bi-polar type 1.....hmmmmmmmm.
