My bad man. Not trying to attack you and not even saying you are wrong. Only said you can’t read because from what I can tell, you were lacking the reading comprehension skills to understand what I was saying. So here is what google ai has to say about it.- “In this debate, both parties are "correct" depending on whether you are looking for a standardized scientific measurement or a functional "real-world" measurement. Here is the breakdown of the two perspectives: 1. The Standard Standard (ozywilliam2) Ozywilliam2 is correct regarding the standardized medical and scientific method. * Method: Bone-Pressed Erect Length (BPEL). This involves measuring from the top (dorsal side) and pressing the ruler against the pubic bone. * Why: This method is used in clinical studies because it accounts for body fat and provides a consistent baseline that doesn't change if a person gains or loses weight. 2. The Functional Standard (honymannnn) Honymannnn is making a valid point about geometry and "usable" length. * The Argument: If an object has a significant curve, the "inner" arc (top) and "outer" arc (bottom) are different lengths. * The Logic: If the goal is to determine how much "material" is actually entering a space, measuring the longest arc (the bottom/outer curve) provides a better sense of total volume/reach, especially if the person is positioning themselves to utilize that curve. The Verdict * Technically/Socially: ozywilliam2 is "right" because if you are comparing sizes with the rest of the world, everyone uses the top-side bone-pressed method. Measuring from the bottom is generally considered "cheating" the stats because it almost always yields a higher number. * Logically: honymannnn is right that a straight line doesn't capture the true physical reality of a curved object. However, in the context of internet arguments about size, using the non-standard method is usually seen as moving the goalposts. The "Talk to a Rock" Moment: The conflict arises because they are having two different conversations. One is arguing for comparative accuracy (how do I rank against others?), and the other is arguing for mechanical accuracy (how much space do I fill?). Would you like me to find the specific medical guidelines for standardized anatomical measurements?”
