Plus Boltzman or F-D statistics seem more comfortable...Originally posted by TCO

What about fact that fermions in F-D distribution are indistinguishable (even theoretically)?
This makes big difference as to multiplicity, yet cannot be justified by ordinary physical intuition...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Boltzmann distribution only depends on classical mechanics.
F-D and B-E have many spooky effects which are only understood in light of quantum...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

I really dislike the fact that you counter our rants with well-thought responses, KH. It puts our side of the debate in an unnatural disadvantage.
