CoreIssue,
re: "The question is irrelevant to the issues since a whole or portion of 3 days did occur."
If you're referring to my question in post #19 then it is absolutely relevant. The question was in reply to your attempted analogy in post #18. The only way your example in post #18 could be analogous to the missing night of Matthew 12:40 is if it showed where a calendar day was counted as a calendar day when no part of the calendar day had occurred.
