How can you have an "intelligent conversation" with someone who insists he knows everything, but screws up on the absolute basics?
It's like teaching someone to drive who insists it can be done from the trunk, with no fuel and no batteries.
When one doesn't understand thoroughly basic concepts like energy conservation -- or what the various terms being thrown about mean (like "catalyst" and "activation energy"), intelligent conversation is only possible if one is open to that.
If you don't like my technical advisor tag, ignore it. I'm not paid for this, and I don't have nor need infinite patience with stupidity.
