If Trump was hit by a bullet of that caliber?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

98. Do the gedanken (thought) experiment

1. Bullet flies by, one millimetre outside of ear. No damage.

2. Bullet path is now 2 mm closer. Thus one mm of the ear will be damaged (blown away). Not more than that because the ear is knocked out of the way.

If you think one mm would blow off the whole ear, then do the thought experiment at 1/2 mm deep or 1/10 mm deep.

The point is that there will be some deepness that yields the damage photographed. There is no jump transition in deepness where one depth does almost no damage and some fraction of mm totally blows the ear away. It is going to be an increasing graph of damage, gradually increasing as the depth gets deeper.

Thus there is some depth that will make the damage photographed.
