Our poster concedes that rockets work in an atmosphere, where there is air to push off from. He denies they work in a vacuum. Because his model appears to predict what is observed when rockets fly in air, he believes it is a correct model. He is uninterested in why his model is wrong. He is similarly uninterested in learning the principles of physics that would also lead to understanding why his purported analogies are inapt. In sum, he has constructed a self-consistent ball of error that includes everything he might want to casually observe, but excludes space travel.
