Sounds like most of the people in this thread, publius and some of the referenced sources excepted, are trying to argue about consequences of a theory based on a word description of that theory rather than from the mathematical description.
This is almost invariably going to go wrong.

There's nothing wrong with describing results in words, but unless you get those results by applying the maths, there's not a high chance you'll get the description right.
