Tom Wier and others point out that prepositions signifying movement
take the accusative.   I think, however, that "in" in "I fart in
your general direction" posits a direction only, not movement.
The methane moves, but I do not; I merely aim it.

Would "I shot the bullet at the man" demand an accusative for "the man"?
Doesn't sound right to me, though I am no E-ist.
