True. As momentum also takes the directional component into the equasion. Boldly said it is kinetic energy plus a direction. I meant to say kinetic energy, it is just hard not being a native English speaker. The energy level in momentum is known, it all comes down to hair-splitting on definitions.

I will not discuss these points any further. It just distracts from the topic.
Readers with a strong knowlegde of physics don't need this information anyhow, and those who don't will not likely be convinced by either of us.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
