The Hawaian islands are laid out in a particular way. That way is what you would expect given what we know about the motion of the pacific right now. Why is that?
The islands are not the way that I think Walt's speculation would make them. Why is that? It seems to me that it is one of the many ways that Walt is wrong.
He has had this idea for a number of years. If it was a real, even sort of scientific theory he would be listening to all these various and obvious critisms and showing in detail how they can be handled.
Instead they are ignored or dealt with wild hand waving. This is a pretty good sign that he doesn't have a clue and can not make this so-called theory stand up to real scrutiny. Since it can't stand up to scrutiny it has not climbed from hypothosis to theory but has slipped to fantasy.
It is understandable that you may have been taken in by this. Lots of people are when they don't have a chance to think it over enough.
Now you might be getting a small idea of how badly Walt has done. You have a chance to learn a bit about it all.
Sorry that should have been under NosyNed.
