Seems to be so. It would take a lot of space-time contortions to make the theory work.
So, is that it? Is that all there is to it? An academic proof of incorrectness? For me 
there is a human aspect. Will it really be a joyous day for the List when Marc Aramini is
forced to retract all hopes for Urth=Green and admit eternal, irrevocable wrongness?
Party hats and noisemakers on that day?  
 
Pithy platitude of the day: It's the journey not the destination. It's the chase
not the catch. Whether you see people's lupine theories as journey companions or as a 
nasty little fox to corner and kill, these principles apply. Speaking strictly for myself,
I found my thought processes stimulated more by trying to think of ways to support
Marc's theory than by trying to delete it.

How about ecological and spiritual, hey? ;- )
