Your theories are so far beyond the pale as to be ridiculous
parodies when it comes to real life fishing and for most folks
it is about real life fishing and not some nonsensical physics
exercise in distance casting. It is sufficient to label your
"articles" as nonsense for the benefit of those who don't know
any better because arguing with you is an exercise in futility.

You two can fight about anything, probably because you're so much alike.

No need to be insulting.

Here's the important consolidated newbie information (remember who started
this thread?): snip

I would offer the following consolidated newbie info:

1. You don't need a tape measure, a caliper and a scale accurate
to the grain to choose a flyline for your fly rod. If you buy a
3wt fly rod buy a 3wt flyline.

2. When someone talks about casting 90 ft of 3 wt flyline with a
3wt fly rod they're talking about a circus act, not fly fishing.

3. Take a lot of what you read here with a healthy dose of salt.
