If you know exactly what you are going to do, what is the point of doing it? Pablo Picasso It is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong. Maynard Keynes Every line in your calculations ends with "=0". You are not making much progress! Kate Hammett We don't do the calculation because we don't know the answer, we do it because we have a conscience. Bryan Taylor Let's change the resolution on the Unknown. Gabe Plunk Let me put it differently: suppose we had a reactor... Per Helander Working together takes more than one person. Bill Dorland We can't do ultraviolence to that square bracket. Ian Abel Field lines are forever. Bryan Taylor This is not really an ill-posed problem, this is not a problem at all. Paul Dellar I am just doing mathematics at the moment, but it is mathematics that has some point. Bryan Taylor The equivalent of God in MAST is MHD, which is global and all powerful. Anthony Field  I've got a fishbone coming up. Tim Horbury We have crossed all the i's and dotted all the t's. Job's a good'un. Ian Abel Let's not jump in front of the bandwagon! Anonymous It's not the triviality, it's the emptiness of it that bothers me. Bryan Taylor This is a very inefficient way of achieving nothing. François Rincon We Hankel all the way in and then Hankel all the way out. Joseph Parker For fairness' sake, let me mention that some people have objections to this, none of which is particularly valid. Chris Chen Yes, Steve, you have always known what we have only just figured out. Alfred Mallet This is more or less right. Perhaps less. Alfred Mallet You go ahead with your argument. I'll think. Steve Cowley
