I will not put words in his mouth.
I'd like to see numbers come out of his mouth. It's one thing to handwave about "elementary physics" and complain about a hot car. (Believe me, it's August in Utah and I'm about to go climb into mine.) But it's another thing altogether to put a quantitative face on things such as how hot stuff gets in space instead of in an Earth parking lot. Elementary physics still requires computation. It's simplified first-order approximations, but it's still quantitative. Several posters have already applied "elementary physics" to this problem and have challenged what appears to be IDW's presumption.
