I never wrote that one cannot get intuitions from diagrams. But what Brent did was use a diagram to claim something which is false.

Don't you think that sounds a tad unlikely? * *Please stop your pathetic BS. Have physicists in the last 120 years claimed that two paths of different lengths in spacetime which start and end at same events, have the same accelerations, except Brent in his diagram?
