Re: Ringworld inconsistency

Larry certainly did not goof (at least not there). While it may take the
beam about 8 minutes to reach the target, there is no way the enemy
could intentionally avoid the beam (assuming no faster than light sensors that
can sense light) since they will not see it until it hits.
