For those who aren't holding their scorecards, already established is that a mil is the logical fraction of 1/17.777777777 (the 7 repeats forever) of a degree. Why it should be useful has not been established. Where we are supposed be be obtaining measurements in mils has not been established. That any submariner from the beginning of time until the present has ever used the mil as their angular measurement nomenclature has not been established.
Otto Kretchmer's name has been dropped but not connected to the issue. Unsourced material with an impressive-looking diagram having nothing to do with anything maritime has been presented to lend credibility to what? That is not established either. In addition, terms, such as "ot factor" have been bandied without definition, application or explanation as to what they are and why they apply. There is apparently some attempt to connect the validity of OTC with the validity of the contentions by the OP, although how that is supposed to apply has not been established. It is not even clear what his contention is.
And that's the score as we stand.
