After years of data the answer
from Hubble is 72 km/s/Mpc!

It is, in appropriate units. Now you just have to find the units.
And the question.

It's the question that is the hard part.

Exactly.

And people don't seem to understand this.

Well, they're mostly taught through the process of answering questions
presented to them by somebody else.

The only way we figured out how to teach it was by demonstration

That's always the best way.

and most missed the point.

You just need the ones who get the point.

Yea, I know. I haven't figured out a workaround for that one.
