What's particularly amusing is that the photo you keep trotting out doesn't even show how close the object is to the ground. Nor any measurement.
Why do you continue to think that your alleged experiment is more conclusive than Randle's own experiment?
Point out where I claimed that the photo that I keep trotting out is meant to show anything more than my grip. What I
think know is that of the 24/27/34.8" lengths, the latter is the one that comes closest to the ground while employing said grip.
