This "equation": q_H² + q_L² ≥ 2q_Hq_L in the article makes no sense to anybody even slightly familiar with a school course of math. First, it's not an equation, it's an inequality. Second, this inequality always holds (you can easily check it yourself).

Is not the whole article as senseless as this "equation"? Who are the target audience, people as incompetent as the authors of the "theory"?
