As in, Euclidean and non-Euclidean are two DIFFERENT systems. Saying
that the two are mutually inconsistent is a meaningless statement to
make and implies the misunderstanding on your part stated prior.

Btw, with that email, I killed two birds with one stone. The first
part was directed at Ingo Schwarze, and after your quote, that was
directed at you. Though the separation was obviously non-obvious and a
mistake. I'll try to watch that in the future and I apologise for the
confusion. I'll also apologise for the rudeness in it and but I'll
stand by the effective content aside from that.

At any rate, I hope that this puts this OT divergence to bed.
