The anti-inquiry gangsters who deface the ExI

civil behavior of one Joe E. Dees:

IAN: If you cannot measure no (zero) change, from what
do you differentiate change? An EPGA is a set of logic
gates on a chip with no exact order or structure, but
what is the FPGA-circuit-definition of change? Also,
are we talking here about zero as just a digit or
zero as a number representing digit and value?
There's no change between all events in all space
and time, and all events in all space and time;
there is therefore zero change over all. No?
