Just follow the diagram.). Plus I don't even recall who said that at all, can you quote them pls (was it OS?)?I... don't recall ever saying the head kick "feat" having "much greater force". I might be getting old tho, so would you mind quoting me where I said that?
I would reckon that what I probably said that the head kick would require more force to propel the victim the same distance vs the chest kick (w/c is true) due to the loss of force (or is it inertia?) when the head is cocked to the side. But that is countered by the implication that the other kick propelled the victim much further. Which means (at best) that the comparison would be apples and oranges between the two due to the fact that the kick to the head would lose quite a bit of the force applied (as, like I said, the head accelerating to the side would dissipate some of the force of the kick). Essentially, higher difficulty vs much better results.
At best, that would mean that neither "feat" can quantifiably be compared to the other as we don't know how much force was lost when Ror's head was cocked to the side as someone needs to do the complex math behind it.
I'm not sure tho, that debate was a long time ago, so I might need a refresher. Seriously, I don't remember like 70% of the things you guys are arguing here and half the things I said or posted. This thread is THAT old. 😛
Tho, reading you reply carefully, I think that's also what you're saying here but I fail to see how you can use this as an example of you presenting irrefutable "facts". At best, you presented a theory that can't be refuted due to lack of evidence caused by the lack of ppl able (or willing) to do the complex physics behind it. But as with all theories, the burden of proof is actually on you (show us the math) before it becomes "fact".
You said exactly what I was saying Bud, and exactly what you said before. You can't really compare them, because one didn't travel as far, but required more force than the kick where they traveled further. So it becomes apples to organs and very hard to gauge. That was my exact point. He said all of MY points were REFUTED, and then cited this as an example of my points being refuted. To which I correctly pointed out, no my point wasn't refuted. There being some doubt on who's was actually superior or it being tough to quantify each, isn't refuting my point. So as you can see, I wasn't making the claim that I refuted your points, I was correctly pointing out that, my point wasn't refuted. At best, they are hard to quantify against one another. I can accept that, but that isn't refuting my point.
