Re: nonsensical rule about pivot and in and out of bounds (warning: math geek post)

Glad to see the thousands of dollars are paying off for your advanced degree
in mathematics.

This is kind of like Xeno's Paradox, which states that there are an infinite
number of  midpoints between two points.  So, does that explain why you
don't catch the disc?  Because there are infinite number of midpoints?  Or
do you just suck, and then have to think of mathematical reasons for it?
