I think that Allen's argument needs to be addressed, if it already hasn't in the past.

I have to say I'm suprised by this but I respect your decision Neville. I will not concede however for two basic reasons. 1.Regner's/ these argumental proofs are made w.r.t. a camera sweeping out of it place (Green arrow/line) when facing the ecliptic axis. My argument does not have anything to do with the camera facing the ecliptic axis. It is looking at the celestial axis all year every day..it canont change its oreintaion nor can it sweep anywhere!? The cameras orientation can never changes wrt any axis,( it could not follow the green arrow, ever ) for it is always parallel to the celestial axis. (all day all year) That would never change year around. at midnight parallel to the celestial axis is by the defintion we all agreed to a rotation. The point i argue on is that simply looking at the celestial axis does not/ cannot make the rotation & parallax of the actual ecliptic axis or its effects disappear. This is the point of the diagrams. It shows that and as of yet no one as addressed any error with it? Not only does that diagram it self make & prove the point. But Regner even agreed to the fundamental meaning of that diagram. If simply looking at the celestial axis does not make the rotational effect around the ecliptic disappear then what is the argument? If it does how dose it do that without violating the previous axioms to which all agreed to !? The fact that the nightly would be manifested in the annual was and is not in question. Nor does it automatically follow that there is no other motion to be observed for the reasons i gave ( & example radial sander v circular) 2. Secondly, Actual experiments not just a the lack of logic from its distracters will show all of my arguments valid, including the basic conclusion. A camera using the real Polaris and stars rotated and translated the way we have been discussing will show the difference between the motions..even in translation with the conditions we have all discussed and even agreed to. Untill some one acctualy address the arguments that I put forward i will not conceed. If someone has then please outline it copy and past the parts of Regners post that i missed for me cause i dont see it at all?
