Whoa, what? Stop... I suggested nothing of the sort. I was refering to the speed of sound, and if you had quoted the ENTIRE SENTENCE . You would notice that I said I was referring to the speed of sound and it's variables.

I am questioning why you are asking this. If the answer were yes, then it means that somebody really does understand it. So; to ask the question, implies that you have some idea that somebody does understand it. Where do you get the idea that somebody does understand it?
