Now I'm completely bemused. What did I do to warrant such a nasty, snide comment from you? Please do tell me.

Erm, OK.

Agreed. I mis-spoke. What I meant to say is that to the mathematically uninitiated, a mathematical discussion may not be understood, whilst it maybe relatively easily explained, at least in outline, in other ways. It's a matter of communication.

And to make a full description you'd need to define the function space, which would involve many more symbols than three.

Forty-two :) Encompasses everything and more.

I decline. Membership removal requested.

I was going to check privately if that was you who requested it. But as you have posted it here, I will remove your membership now.

Bob, you have just proved his point!
You should have taken his comment as a compliment. Acting as a petulant prima donna is not a good response.
No doubt I will now come under fire. I will not be replying, so fire away all you like.

I genuinely wanted to know.

They're not just visibly orange/amber-ish, they also give off significant IR, which has caused them to be demonized for inefficiency, which is certainly true during air conditioning season, where one electric draw is fighting another, which is ridiculous. However, there is lots of evidence to suggest that IR is necessary for optimal health, and when people stay indoors during winter, they may be the better bulb, because they give off IR that people otherwise wouldn't be exposed to if they stayed indoors during winter, or are completely covered in the little time they are outdoors. Also, warmer light enables greater melatonin generation in the evening. The inefficiency is completely irrelevant during winter, if thermostats control the heating, because the "inefficient bulbs" are no worse than electric heat; you can think of electric heat as an extremely inefficient bulb that gives off no visible light.
Gas/oil heating, of course, is not the same as electric, but electric is a rough proxy for them in terms of energy, and they can also be driven by thermostats
Just don't put the bulbs in the windows, and all the energy that they "consume" to make light, as free lunch, on the way to heat.

Almost like what someone once said, "one electric draw is fighting another".
