Relative to your comment on Watson:

>>>Why don't you try making a counter argument instead of just calling people stupid and calling them names...<<<

You don't yet realize that Watson's counter argument is to call people stupid and call them names? To him, he thinks it's the best debate weapon he's got, his most effective debating tool.

Personally, I can't fathom what Watson thinks he's accomplishing by communicating in such a manner, much less debating. But such is his desire, his wish and, I guess, the very nature of his best counterarguments.

Usually, in a debate, there are moments of silent reckoning. Of course, this isn't possible in this SI forum. But still there are thrilling moments of self-realization--if only Watson could discover this!

When a poster demonstrates complete and total ignorance and are told by me, if you have half a brain you will go and figure it out for yourself. And if you don't even have half a brain there is no point other than letting you know you have demonstrated a severe lack of brain.

DU is used for the fact it carries kinetic energy. And it does not explode. Does that help you know why you demonstrated a complete ignorance of the use of DU ammunition in battle.

And of course how you demonstrated Killer Clown From Outer-Space analysis is stupidity by any definition.

The technology ignoramus has the right to remain silent or speak .... Many are found to stupid to know how ignorant they are. Now you have been informed...
