- this leads to another typical crack-pot definition -- the mixture and
- ill-definitions of variable. As an example, let the effect P=UI speaking
- voltage and amperes here, and your general crack-pot'd take that and
- equal to mv speaking mass and velocity, and claim that any vehicle that
- gets a current of I and voltage of U will travel at speed "UI/m", or
- mix that with preasure or any other entity stated in any handbook denoted
- by the letter "p" -- big or small, doesn't matter....
