or four 'equals'? It would be just as difficult to maintain three or four
_exact_ divisions as it would be to maintain two.
I am not a quantum physist (among many things I am not) but it would seem
that two is too many--the likelyhood that they would always be exactly equal
is vanishingly small (Heisingberg might insist it is impossible in principle)
and as soon as the become unequal one (both?) disappear.
