page 201 et suivantes :
| On an
| earth of fixed radius this means that North America and Siberia have
| approached each other across the Arctic by 54° (or by 44° if every result
| is biased to the extreme limit of its confidence circle), this during a time
| when the Arctic was a disjunctive region. The corresponding angular convergence
| for North America and Europe is 77°.
[...]
| In the Permian case we have four
| separate blocks distributed round 250° of longitude.
[...]
| This means that on a fixed radius earth, 
| North America has approached Siberia across the disjunctive Arctic by
| 37° and Europe by 52° since the Triassic.
[...]
| North
| America and Siberia have approached each other by 8° across the Arctic
| since the Jurassic, and North America and Europe by 18°.

Otan pour moi, Samuel Carey ne faisant pas une erreur de vocabulaire. 
Il voulait effectivement dire que les continents (sauf Antarctique) ont 
convergé vers une même destination depuis des emplacements éloignés si le 
rayon terrestre est fixe. Il était donc incompétent ou malhonnête.
