Andrew Jute McCoy behaved as predicted with:

I imagine the guys who turned a slip of the typing finger into a major
flamewar are all fat and diseased from sitting at their keyboards all
day long waiting to catch someone's fart so they can light it to start
a flamewar. Here, with thanks to those who offered amendation, is the
corrected version in which, as Ian Bell has pointed out, 1kW is still
860kcal, so that the conclusion I intended is changed not one jot or
tittle:


When one makes a "slip" as if one were speaking revealed religion, the
consequences are hardly flames and the single appropriate response is
"whoops, I erred".

Now, that would be the response of a reasonable human being, not a
latter-day Moses such as yourself so you may be forgiven under those
conditions. But just keep in mind that Moses never reached the Holy
Land... and as it happens that description is quite appropriate in your
case as well.
