<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cubenewb, post: 1075059, member: 25644&quot;]You have made it clear where my misconception arose; when you said &quot;as&nbsp; this gets smaller, that gets bigger&quot; I thought you were implicitly&nbsp; asserting that &quot;as this gets bigger, that gets smaller.&quot; As you have&nbsp; pointed out, and as I have come to realize through some retrospective&nbsp; scrutiny of our correspondence on this matter, this seems to have been&nbsp; produced solely out of my own assumptions, and not your own. I thank you&nbsp; for your patience in unveiling this oversight, although I think the&nbsp; true disparity here is just in the terminology originally asserted by&nbsp; both of us (percentage vs. penalty).</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; As for this comment:</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; I hope the only discussion that is being finished is this admittedly&nbsp; petty distinction between &#039;penalty&#039; and &#039;penalty percentage.&#039; You&nbsp; undoubtedly have a vast volume of numismatic knowledge that dwarfs mine <b> significantly</b> (as has become evident to me by past postings in which&nbsp; you&nbsp; have answered some of my numerous questions!). Perhaps the butting of&nbsp; heads between two Type A personalities resulting from an oversight (on&nbsp; my part, as is evident in hindsight) is something neither of us has much&nbsp; control over <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> . I hope you can continue to respect me (if ever there&nbsp; was any); I&#039;m not an antagonizing person but am admittedly excessively&nbsp; particular... I apologize for any unintended offense I may have called.&nbsp; Perhaps on an x-y coordinate plane defined as understanding vs. time, we&nbsp; can see a convergence of our individual courses (despite the haphazard path mine may have taken as a result of confusion) and find ourselves&nbsp; leaving this situation with equal understanding of the other&#039;s ideas.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Thank god there is another on this forum who also enjoys mathematics! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
