should either be clarified or deleted. It certainly isn't true as stated. I suppose that whoever wrote it was thinking of continuum fluid dynamics but real fluids aren't continua, they're made of atoms all of which undergo thermal motion. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/65.19.15.202|65.19.15.202]] ([[User talk:65.19.15.202|talk]]) 15:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Well that is about how literal you want to be in describing "the liquid" in general as a "way of understanding" it is correct - a point need not be an atom in a mathematical view of the liquid. Although maybe not the exact physical interpretation. Honestly i really don't see the problem here. [[User:Gillis|Gillis]] ([[User talk:Gillis|talk]]) 21:57, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
::A point need not be an atom in a mathematical view of the liquid? Although maybe not the exact physical interpretation? This is what I would call a '''clarification''', which is exactly what the OP requested. That's the problem here. It's a very small problem, certainly. And most readers can probably understand the intended concept the way it is stated. Perhaps the word cocktail could be prefaced with (mathematically idealized) as a way to head off any argument about discrete molecules. I really believe such a minor mod would reduce the frustration some readers feel when we encounter apparent disconnects from reality such as this. Thanks for your time.--[[User:Twixter|Twixter]] ([[User talk:Twixter|talk]]) 00:26, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
