  1. At 1:50, Howard asks, "Do you believe there are straight lines in the universe?" It's a trick question, as we discover a bit later. At 2:15, the trick is revealed, reluctantly: "Show me a straight line...<trailing>in nature." I am in the universe. There are straight lines all over the place, to my observation--but they're not produced by natural process, to my observation. However, calculus treats nature/the universe as having no "curves", but rather, straight lines of infinitesimal LENGTH. Every curve, then, IS a series of straight lines. The curves, then, is an illusion of resolution. And it's not possible to PROVE otherwise. So, not only is his basic premise wrong, but he attempts to trick us into tacitly accepting it. He's using a deception as a foundation for the rest of his (sales) presentation. I find this style of manner of his off-putting--there's reason to distrust him as one would any marketer. "I've got a great time-share condo for you!" I've heard the patter before...it's unmistakable--it took me about 30 seconds to catch a whiff of his drift.
