They do, a regular human in the village can beat 90% of Youkai.
It just seems to me that it's not based off of actually taking the time to understand the mechanics of magic as it is reading a book, being able to remember parts of a book, and poof, you know it. It begs questions such as "Who wrote the book" but it just seems like Pach, who knows the most about magic out of everyone we've seen in Gensokyo, doesn't know simple principles of physics like Gravity and Pressure and instead is assuming that since she read the children's book on the Apollo landings, she is now 100% able to launch and field a spaceship of her own. There's no reason why she SHOULDN'T think that if she has never had to question why her magic works or why her books are the complete truth about magic.

>> No.639929

>>639883

I have no idea, but maybe it just takes an extraordinary amount of effort to be a human magician, which would explain why Marisa spends most of her time training. Everyone in the human village might be spending too much time farming or whatever to devote time to study magic.

Ignoring all this, I think Patchouli is still just trying to mess with Eirin's head to make sure the plan is protected. If Eirin thinks the moon rocket will fail, all the better (of course, the Lunar Veil changes everything ...).

But didn't Marisa complain once that she was jealous of youkai magicians like Alice because they never had to study magic as much as she did? Then it would seem like youkai have some special affinity for learning magic that humans don't share.

Actually, unless Eirin's "league" is *much* smaller than an English league (3.5 miles), her figure of "a million leagues" is wildly inaccurate. To the moon, it's approximately 380,000 km or 240,000 miles, coming to a mere 70,000 leagues.

LIKE I SAID: I think this is a battle between who will give away better, more believable, disinformation to the other party. There's no way an article about the lunar landings (which she read as a resource) wouldn't include the correct distance between the Earth and the Moon.

Meanwhile, Patchouli tells the others that it may take a few weeks for them to get to the Lunar Capital. Unless Gensokyo is much more warped than we've assumed (almost egg-like at the crest, yet still low from a real-world altitude standpoint), or whether or not they're taking into account some figure that they'll need to get into the Lunar Capital, then the moon rocket won't be flying directly to the moon.

Hmm, let's do a flashback.

Touhou 2: Reimu seeks revenge for Mima's revenge for Reimu's previous rampage.
Touhou 3: Reimu interferes with academia and scientific progress.
Touhou 4: Reimu kills a youkai who tried to help her.
Touhou 5: Reimu orphans Alice and destroys an entire world for its creator's belief in free enterprise.
Touhou 6: Reimu places a little girl under house arrest.
Touhou 7: Reimu prevents an innocent girl from being revived.
CoLA: Reimu mugs a youkai for reading.
Touhou 7.5: Reimu breaks up parties.
Touhou 8: Reimu strips away Gensokyo's defenses against a Lunar invasion.
Touhou 9: Reimu attacks people for no good reason.
Touhou 10: Reimu oppresses other religions.

They have to know the distance. At the very least Sakuya does and Patchy probably does too. A lot of things they did are completely illogical but it's all in good fun and more importantly that shit works. Even Eirin thinks it works and actually wants them to get to the moon.

Well all the games said she was a natural born magician. It's either Akyu's info is wrong or the previous backgrounds were going by information that we are " allowed " to know and only Akyu knows the truth.

Retcon is also a possibility.
