So does coffee, what are you guys talking about?

I'm pretty sure they're saying the same thing, but just being very pedantic and/or using layman terms versus non-layman terms. Temperature versus energy?

Honestly, I got lost part of the way through.

I pointed out heavy ion collisions are not appropriate for studying neutron star matter (because the temperature is far too high). He objected for a spurious reason, I pointed out he was wrong, and he came back with something irrelevant. I can't explain why he's doing that, but his comments are what they are.
