Actually, of course, they orbit around their common

It is very BIG.

It means I don't need anywhere near as much extinction to explain the distance
anomaly. Orbit pitch can also be included in the equation.


What's this, Wilson?
How can you get pitch from a point source, Wilson?
All orbits are edge-on, Wilson, you said so.
In fact you don't need ANY extinction, it is ALL explained by pitch,
you stupid old wabo.


ALL right...you fluked the right explanation....BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHY.....
AND STILL DON'T.
