    • It's cool! It was a little silly of me to mention the possibility of compression like that in the first place. It should be pretty obvious that sponges wouldn't compress water, but then I was like "Oh shit, what if there's something I'm not taking into account? I'd better be weird and wishy-washy about this shit".

      Anyway, don't worry. There are way worse physics embarrassments to be had than that. I was once rude about Neil Degrasse Tyson's teaching methods on a forum (and part of my objection was that I thought one of the things he said was false/meaningless, which turned out not to be the case), and then Professor Tyson actually showed up, very politely responded, and recommended some books to me to clear up the misunderstanding. It was weird and super embarrassing, but I have a lot of respect for him now.
