His crime was being pedantic about the definition of rape around people who can't even differentiate rape from underage sex, which are probably the same people that are interpreting it as Him defending underage sex.

-He argued that rape is no the same as having sex with a minor. He is right, that's not the definition of rape.

-A minor is not necessarily a child. You can be a minor and the next day be 18 in a porno movie.

-Never did Stallman said it was ok, He just raised the question whether Minsky knew She was being coerced by Epstein. Clearly not the same.

The way I thought about solving it was more complicated, it involved a laser protector matching the absorption frequencies for each photochromic crystal (CMY) thus selectively heating each color. The only manufacturer of photochromic inks I knew was Zink but I didn't even imagine they would be willing to ship me some samples because they use them for their products. I could have asked my university for help but their policy was to keep 98% of the patent.
