  • Abstract
    Many times, you can evaluate a statement or theory just looking to see if the energy and power involved are reasonable. In this article I have included some discussions of notorious, and inaccurate, comparisons. These are designed to show that mere comparisons of energy aren´t necessarily significant and that a little qualitative analysis helps to separate the marketing hype from reasonable facts.
