How very convenient of you to decide what is logical and what is not, just because you are not equipped to fathom the subtlety.
No I do not have to contradict any facts, I merely enjoin in the discussion when fiction is passed off with authority as facts.
For instance take this very thread.
I find it a great engineering marvel, given the soil conditions in snow and the speed being attained. Where is there any contradiction? In fact, I have been asking questions like the one on the first class and all that. I also learnt something called the green train and the interesting issue that Amoy brought out about how short distance HSR may not be economically viable given that the air fares are near comparable.
But take the one above train line image.
They are to be only dots. I even so I said interesting dots because there was nothing that informed.
I could have deleted the post as irrelevant since it was in Mandarin. But I did not and gave just a subtle message that it is not correct or fair to have mandarin (with translation) in an English language forum and when most are non Chinese.
This is an English language forum. What is the idea of putting out Mandarin which only the Chinese will understand. Now, this type of thing irritates. We want to know of issues and we are given Chinese script. What does it indicate to the non Chinese? It indicates a waste of time and bandwidth and possibly a desire to showoff.
Therefore, if the discussion is such that it is based on facts, not on fiction or attempt to show off or showcase, then it is mutually beneficial.
If not, questions are asked and you all go off on a tangent!
