Now Andy, you would have to know that this is untrue. When I
learnt calculus, I used to conjure up delicious pictures of how
small some quantities could be and no matter what I conjured up,
I realised there could be even smaller. So, Newton (and Leibniz
btw), had the very very smallest covered. He also had zero
covered. Now, to me at least, you are admitting some interest in
whatever this (these) characters are saying and no new advances
are needed to quantify it. <g>
