        Neil, cows have a much narrower range of stereo vision than humans and accordingly poor depth perception

        It would be astonishingly unlikely for a cow to aim at the correct place

        Thanks, but I’m usually content with two, at most three, significant figures. Anything more tends to distract the reader.

        Yes. You stopped reading after a couple of words. You probably stopped listening after a few words.

        Maybe because the shirt was cut off. Did you conduct an experiment with a full length shirt ?

        Everyone knows No Fear shirts only prevent fear at full length. Cut them off and end up with non zero amounts of fear. It’s science.
