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


common sense dictates that there virtually is no lawn that has been
compacted so much that further compaction would shift soil from the high
points to the low points.

both common sense and practical experience will also show that even with
the most compacted soil, further compaction will only depress the high
points with very minimal soil shifting to the low points.

last but not least, common sense, practical experience, and engineering
principles dictate that soil shifting, redistributing merely moves soil
from one high point to another low point, effectively canceling any
increase or decrease in volume.

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


common sense will also tell everyone that this kind of argument,
character attacks can only come from people with no ...common sense
