Ok, I'm not sure who you are confusing me with, but this one time was my "every time". And your snarkier than thou response really isn't appreciated. You know nothing about me or what I know. I never expressed a lack of understanding about exponential growth. What I can tell you is that the current UN report on population growth says that the growth rate is decreasing. That would be the second derivative. If you'd like I can quote you back an obnoxious equation that has no context.

So I'm really not clear what sort of bug is up your ass, but don't take it out on me. I have no idea who you are or what you are talking about as to my supposed "denial" messages. Maybe you can either clear that up, or apologize and delete your message.

Have at it.
