I don't want to get started on trying to apply real-world physics to a fictional reality, which does not operate on real-world physics in the first place, but suffice it to say that our twisted logic applies in as much as we have decided to use it, and you must abide by it, or avail yourself of one of the numerous websites which are distinguishing between New Earth and the DCnU - albeit in a less organized way.

I have never met a sane doctor who didn't say that masturbation is - for the most part - good for your health. While my semantic masturbation may do little for you, it makes me feel very nice, and I will probably keep doing it until I go blind.

There is no difference between Action Comics' current storyline and Superman: Birthright in terms of redefining the character's history. Nothing about the current origin makes Superman an entirely different character. What causes confusion is the fact that it depicts a different era of superman's history getting retconned before our eyes, rather than a separate miniseries saying "that stuff you remember from before isn't true anymore, but everything currently is."
