Probably that nothing in this thread is any different than what is on the damn links people gave you upwards of 8 times throughout that prior topic? Maybe the fact you are still saying things like "making it worth gearing for it" in your post which is similar to what you said also in prior topic? It isn't hard to click on a link, read over it and also click on other source/related links at the end of the articles to see the same damn thing everyone has posted in this tread explaining what each part of the equation means, where it comes from, how it is factored, and the order it goes in to reach the final total.

The only thing I see from your OP and several other responses is the fact you have a lack of patience in reading this source material then proceed to scrutinize it like it is something someone randomly pulled out of their ass to inconvenience you. It baffles me why someone comes in and questions information that has been worked on since around 2005 onward and has been reliable within an expected margin of error because there is still a variable that people haven't been able to pinpoint to an absolute.

Here you are asking questions like "What is this" or "what is that" and when someone gives you an answer you reply with "well why is it that way" or "how can people know that for fact." It isn't like the equations are baseless with no testing or trending with scrutiny by those willing to take the time to test it. Don't need someone coming in with the attitude that swapping gear is wasted effort when years of data and various personal experiences back up the statement. Just says to me and others who took the time to link you to the information in the first place that you've got a vendetta since the consensus inconveniences you without someone holding your hand since reading, clicking links, and understanding directions is too hard? This didn't even warrant another thread since links to the information were provided to you.
