The 'central' location isn't; it's non-discrete...yet central. Argyle 104 formed his argument around cardinal points whether he realized it or not. And maybe that isn't what he intended. If so then he will have to change it to get away from specific latitude and longitude in terms of where each country lies. If he insists, somehow, that his aforementioned countries can be physically located someplace else other than where they actually lie then I'm sure scientists will be interested in his explanation as well. [b]''They're relative terms, usually accompanied by specific things like groups (lingual, ethnic, cultural), monuments, geological reference points (rivers, mountain ranges etc), etc.''[/b] Cardinal directions are not relative, they are discrete. Lingual, ethnic and cultural parameters aren't static and can't be used in the equation. And yes mountains, rivers and monuments are [i]specific[/i]. They can be located wherever they may lie: north , east, south and west. Therefore they are not relative in terms of location; they can be located on a latitude and longitude basis even though the mountains may meander in one direction or the other. [/QB][/QUOTE]
