Of course, you're absolutely right, Maytime. We all live in a world where it takes the same effort (as far as we can discriminate) to lift a given object on top of Pikes Peak as it does in Death Valley, and, if we drop it, it always falls straight towards the center of the earth. The fact that other results are possible other places in the universe, and those results have to be correctly predicted by our formulas, causes complication, and confusion.
