RL concerns and "accuracy" really have no relevance to or place in DF articles. It's like arguing whether a pike should be better than a spear - it is in DF, and that's where we are, so end of discussion. All good, readya later.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 18:45, 24 March 2010 (UTC) | RL concerns and "accuracy" really have no relevance to or place in DF articles.

You may want to check who you're upbraiding: When you undid my comment about the real slope of mountains, it was in fact a reply to somebody else's comment. You seem to be set on believing I'm in the wrong. However, when I took a moment to compare _your_ changes to _my_ comments, we are in fact in total and complete agreement. You changed a dome from being 20 wide and 20 tall to being 20 wide (10 in radius) and 10 tall (10 in radius again) which was pretty much my point. You deleted a total of four sentences, two of which were written by me. The other two weren't me.
All I wrote was "Actually, any mountain that went five feet up for every twenty feet across would be nearly impossible to climb. Try it sometime." My point was that if a mountain went up five feet (my personal approximation for a tile/z-level) every fifteen or twenty feet that would make it a very steep hill.
However, the person before me said "1 tile does NOT necessarily equal 1 Z-level; after all even the steepest mountains change a Z-level only every 3 or 4 tiles." Therefore, my rebuttal was centered around the fact that the steepest mountains would change approximately 5 feet per fifteen, making DF's steepest mountains approximately on par with our own.
The end result of all this is simple: Somebody made an incorrect comment, and I provided a rebuttal. In what appears to be a fit of self-righteous arrogance, you attributed a much larger quantity of writing to me than was accurate and managed to agree with me, then tell me how wrong I am. Moreover, if you had been spending time reading on the forums, you would understand that Toady does attempt to model DF on reality, even if it's sometimes off. For example, the funky crook symbol is actually supposed to represent a kilogram, and is being made accurate to that measurement in the next version.
However, if you think you know better than Toady, then be my guest. --Waladil 03:11, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
P.S. Putting the "minor change" tick-mark on the box doesn't actually make it a minor change. That box is for things like spelling and grammar, not deleting a paragraph.
