he was seventeen when i was in primary school

Found the booklet from our school trip. Milo is seventeen in that one, seventeen in the 2013 guide and seventeen in this summer’s leaflet. I am thirty-one.

The three dates are in the pictures. My mum kept the school folder.

This site is ridiculous sometimes. Three leaflets get an age wrong and suddenly it's a robot.

In Big Zoo · why does the zoo argument end with giraffes?

A display selling tickets is not enough to establish a fabricated animal. That is the step I do not find in the financial argument.

In Flat Giraffers · why is the animal allowed to outlive its explanation?

The original goes further than the diagram question: it calls the observations alleged. If you defend that sentence, the question is what was observed, not merely how well it was drawn.

They could have kept a model as well. A photograph from inside the hall would help.

In Flat Giraffers · before the battery is a very specific cutoff

Before photography would give you no photographs of anything. The question has to include which battery and which photographic process.

The scale cuts both ways. A difficult trip might keep someone away longer; it might also mean very few people go. Those do not cancel each other without figures.

You could make this diagram for a person standing on a hill.

In Flat Giraffers · why does the same sort of neck get a different explanation?

A similar part does not require identical behavior. You would have to say which feature makes hiding a necessary use of the neck.

That can mean over the edge or straight up. Those are different questions.

There is still a step between trusting a label and proving fabrication. I would rather see that step discussed than another list of imaginary animals.
