“Oh, so they're on a subterranean island? You got to read it in my book! They are on--they're on an island, and this wave diffracts around the island; they hardly notice the island at all!”
“This planet is distorted by tidal effects and it's swinging back and forth, it has not yet settled down to one face toward the planet, and that swinging back and forth is generating this wave. That's all in the book!”
“The formula is in the book in this book! So you--so we don't have to go to your graduate textbook for that? Well, not for the answer!”
“So this is the key thing that's not explicit, that you only understand if you read my book! You didn't read it carefully enough! No, I--I read a lot of it!”
“But you don't know that's what's happening until you read my book, by agreement between Chris and me! That's the only way anyone's ever going to know!”
