You're the one who introduced the notion that the ratio 34/23.7 had to be a common fraction. It doesn't. That was a red herring introduced by you to avoid having to address the main question. And since a ratio is a dimensionless number (no units involved), 34/23.7 can be expressed as a fraction, 340/237. Whether everybody here is using exactly proper terminology is irrelevant to the main question raised as to whether Phi is expressed as a naturally occurring ratio in DNA. Your arguing about this side matter rather than addressing the main point just makes you look like a weasel.
Not true, let me explain.
I think we can all agree that the number 34 was never in dispute, the issue was whether the width of DNA was 20, 21, or 22-27. Mine was 21, the problem was Sugenator came up with more than one measurement, so when he posted 34/23.7 I assumed he took the average of 20, 22, 27 which comes out to 23 no idea where he got the .7.
Up until now I'd been using the "/" to symbolize division not a fraction and since 34/23.7 had a decimal in it, I never saw it as a fraction, and as far as I know, you can either display a ratio as a decimal or fraction, not both. When I made the comment that it wasn't a ratio, you're the ones that derailed the thread.
The fact that it wasn't properly formatted as a ratio is all i was saying.
