i salute your equidistancing everything out<br/>
as it is after all the default reality anyway<br/>
& we can always correct if anything other than equidistance ever happens<br/>
<br/>
your advancement in thinking enables us to complete our lists & working <br/>
models rather than always being condemned to trailing off into uncertainty<br/>
<br/>
of course there is going to be uncertainty<br/>
but it need only be relative uncertainty<br/>
& it can be specially flagged<br/>
<br/>
like say for atchde<br/>
i think some day we will laugh to think back at how hard it was to swallow <br/>
the equidistance position that gideon just flat out gives for it<br/>
<br/>
it seems to me the best available truth is still very much worth knowing <br/>
even if it isnt yet confirmed to be absolute<br/>

&gt; &gt; &gt; Does anyone know whether Jordan and Egypt abut in the Red Sea?<br/>
&gt; &gt; I&#39;d say yes<br/>
&gt;So would I, now. I&#39;ve just dug out a better map, and it&#39;s difficult<br/>
&gt;to see how a line of equidistance between Israel and Egypt could<br/>
&gt;feasibly skew far enough south.<br/>
&gt;In reply to Michael&#39;s point about absent treaties, I&#39;m wading on<br/>
&gt;regardless with my EEZ boundary survey based on the Principle of<br/>
&gt;Maximum Greed, and using equidistance lines if a treaty doesn&#39;t<br/>
&gt;exist. In this case I think I&#39;m reasonably future-proof, since the<br/>
&gt;critical balance is between Egypt+Jordan and Israel. I can&#39;t see<br/>
&gt;Egypt+Jordan accepting any treaty that would allow Israeli waters to<br/>
&gt;edge farther south than equidistance, or the Israelis accepting<br/>
&gt;anything that would push them farther north. And there are no awkward<br/>
&gt;offshore islands/rocks to muddy the issue.<br/>
