Perhaps our Canadian friend couldn't stand all the factual
data and gave up trying to throw philosophy at us in hopes
that we'd give up reality in favor of sophistry.

OK - a legitimate question.

I pick up a beach ball, and hold it out away from my chest. I then turn around 360 degrees.

Did the beach ball just "rotate" ... on its "own" axis???


Nothing in your example is operating in free space. There is no actual "axis" to talk about in your example.
