A few more of these and we'll need an "Academia" category, perhaps.

Too many big words.

Far too many! It's perfectly easy to say nothing with a lot more brevity than that. :)
Scientists don't try to use artists' jargon in their papers - I have to wonder why artists use science jargon - maybe they think it makes them look clever? :)

"If a man can walk 3 miles in an hour, and then discovers he can travel faster, is this a bit like time travel?
Say the basis for making a journey is walking speed, and this is world wide. Then someone creates a device or machine that can make the journey more quickly isn't this a form of travelling through time into the future?
If you imagine a car is a time machine - through the rear windscreen is the past, through the front windscreen is the future and in the car is the present. Through the side windows is the present as it happens in all across the universe.
The car gets you to the future more quickly."

"I don't believe Nature could produce that level of detail..." (So-called "expert" attempting to argue that so-called "photographic evidence" of a so-called "ghost" must prove conclusively that ghosts "exist" because Nature is apparently incapable of producing anything so detailed as a human face).

Well, obviously. Only God can create a human face. If you believe Nature could have done it, you must be one of those evil pagans.
