And your assessment of professional quality is made by professionals?
Or is all the assessment of your own accomplishments done by yourself?

If you will answer the multiple-choice question below on the basis of
your common-sense, then this will be an excellent test of whether
common-sense is a liar and a cheat.

Are you afraid to confront the truth about your common sense, John?
Are you not strong enough to inspect common sense in the face to learn
whether it should be trusted? Are you a man, John, or a spineless
weakling?

Here's the response to my query at the Library of Congress:
The LCCN you entered [ 5241857 ] was not found in the Library of
Congress Online Catalog.
Are you lying, John?
What's the ISBN?

That is different than F=mv. Momentum is not force.

Moreover, this is not a good definition of momentum, though it is a
useful approximation for engineers, not suitable for physics.

And yet you would have me trust this Wiley Engineer's Desk Reference,
when you don't believe it yourself. When are you going to support any
of your assertions, John, other than blustering about what comes out
of your own head?

You can understand, John, why this would give the appearance of your
being afraid to have your claims examined. You claim something is
backed up in your references, and so -- unlike you -- I am more than
willing to check out your cited references. Now suddenly you are
waffling and being vague. This is the sure sign of someone caught in a
lie. You wouldn't be a compulsive liar, would you John? I mean, that
too would be reason not to trust you or your firm to do any
architectural work. Are you a liar and a cheat?

Remember, I'm specifically looking for the equation F=mv, where F is
taken to denote force.

If you're willing to recant the lie before it gets too deep, then you
might salvage a small portion of your remaining dignity.

There is ongoing debate about whether the Earth is flat, John.
http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm
Since this debate has been going on for 500 years, by your argument,
the claim that the earth is round is 5x as wrong as relativity is.
