afdave says “Also, where do we get this idea that sediments under water are compressible in the first place? We’re talking about fairly incompressible materials here … Clay particles, sand, silt, diatoms, etc. Are we to believe that the 3-6mm layers discussed by Kato are compressed 5-10 fold? Not very believeable. Sounds like story telling.“
After some semantics, dodging and ignoring common sense examples afdave says “You guys are just story telling and story telling and story telling. You can’t get a 6mm layer to compress down to 1mm by compression and water removal. This argument is dead. And it leaves you with quite a conundrum for your supposedly reliable Lake Suigetsu ‘clock.’“
Here’s an example of the posts afdave ignores while continuing to make his claim on sediment incompressibility:
- Seven Popes willing to bet afdave $1,000 that he can do this with clay and demonstrate it over a webcast.
- Occam’s Aftershave finding thousands of papers and articles on sediment compressibility (it is critical to the petroleum industry) with a 30 second google search. Including this one on ‘Pressure and Compaction in Rock Physics Space‘.
Failed to be honest today.
Dishonest tactic: cowardly avoidance + afdave law #1 & 4
