Yeah, but he picked an easy subject - trains are essentially
one-dimensional so you just need a line of lights to shine on it. Things
get really silly if you try to use an extra dimension or 2. The cost of
helicopter hire alone to do the everglades properly would by astronomical ;)

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
