We might build a 12'x16' equilateral A-frame...

You used the word "Might" 8 times, "Could" 3 times, "If" 3 times, with a
"Maybe" and "Somehow" once each.

Thank you for counting.

"Could" it be that you "Might" be proposing that "If" "Somehow" you
"Maybe" actually built one you could prove your point without using
those words that only confirm that you are in fact just guessing.

The only big risk is the plastic pool losing strength at 130 F, and there
are solutions for that. I go overboard on the "mights" to avoid ignorant
people like you raising angry challenges to 300-year-old settled physics.

Nick,

You want someone else to do the work. I suggest that you do the work.

The words you use indicate that you are just guessing.

I have the greatest faith in your maths and the physics. The questions
are; "Can you prove your theory? Can you in fact build this? Test it?
Prove it? Present the results in plain English?

Ignorance generates words like "Might" "Could" "If" "Maybe" "Somehow".

You have presented a theory riddled with doubts.

It is now time to remove the doubts.

Go for it.
