We have heard more an more about "Alternate Facts" and "Fake News". The picture that I've attached demonstrates that two different factually correct statements can be drawn from how you observe something. IMO, neither is right or wrong. fog

if the side of a cylinder looks like a flat rectangle, it's time for an eye doctor appointment, not excuses...

Why is the side view and the top view white, when the cylinder is blue ?

The side view is in a different position.
It should be wider than it is tall.

And as jespear pointed out, the color is all wrong.

This isn't a different perspective, it's purposeful deception!

I understand the point, but the views are correct.

Of course having been involved in he field assembly and installation of a few hundred tanks on nclear plants, including the TBRT, I have a practiced POV.

I think Drafter is saying that this is First Angle Projection, like the Europeans do. He is likely used to Third Angle Projection like we do in the US for machine part drawings. So to him the views are in the wrong place. And even given that, the second quadrant view is turned 90 degrees.

But his is missing the point.

This drawing is obviously a fake news graphic, produced by the unscrupulous political opposition to deceive us and betray our values.

Looking at it too long could cause sepsis...

Drafter, my old bud! Woot
Hope this day finds you well.

I dunno. The side view of a cylinder is a rectangle. Although I think they got the aspect ratio wrong....



Don’t look at it too long Bro. It’s like a Medusa; man does not behold the face of the Gorgon and live!

I don't know. I mean, yeah, turning to stone and all sounds pretty final, but maybe there's some consciousness remaining. Hard to say. All the victims are so stoic

Like all metaphors is can be sliced differs ways. Prolly just my nihilism coming out; looking into the truth both enlightens us and robs us.
