Citation please.


There are no citations for common sense, common sense is not
debatable... you either have it or you don't... you don't. Flattening
ground is all relative/a matter of degree regarding compaction... with
freshly tilled/loose ground any pressure applied will compact but with
already compacted ground any pressure exerted to flatten the high
points will loosen the ground in the movement/shifting thereof. That
you can't immediately comprehend this most basic of juvenile phenomena
proves you were an abused child, you weren't permitted sandbox time,
you never tested cow pies, you never fingerpainted, you failed library
paste... when all the other kids were making mud pies bad billy was
busy deep throating his thumb, yanking his ear lobe, and humping his
blankie with his wee willie. LOL
