This was a statement from a chapter in The book of Popular Science Volume 4. Which part? The part about the Earth looking bigger from the Moon or the part about the Earth looking the wrong size in the photos? The former is a perfectly sound statement. The latter is an unsupported assertion. If indeed that assertion did appear in a printed text, why did you not attribute it when you made the first post? Answer: because, as usual, you are yanking our chains. You have demonstrated repeatedly you have no interest in actual debate. You just throw in a few claims and watch the results. I am still waiting for you to actually engage in discussion on any number of threads to which you have contributed. It's not a suggestion, it is a explanation. Find out the type of lens used and its field of view, then measure the size of the Earth in the pictures. Everything you need to do that is freely available online. Irrelevant. You made a claim about the size of Earth in the photographs. Deal with that.

Would inconceivable's behavior in this thread count as trolling?

Well... it would be nice if she actually discussed things with us like a grown-up.
If not trolling, perhaps "seagull posting" might be apt. You know -- crap on whatever is below and fly on. Although, come to think of it, some recent immigrants here from Australia, welcome swallows, are better (or is it worse) at doing that than seagulls.

"Cheer up!" they said, "It could be worse!" So I did, and it was.
