Jason, you 'assume' a lot what I don't. I learned those figments in college and applied in my conventional research - now reduced in my credibility (agnosticism) for phizix and its 'laws' - (in spite of the practical results which I use happily in my life-practice) - as - some *explanatory sweat *to comply with (poorly if at all understood) phenomena received in formats how the actual developmental level of our mentality could handle it.
I would think twice to 'accept' an argument just to make another one acceptable. Science means doubtfulness and we have no access to "TRUTH" - we just think of it. Computability? good method to use our brain-functions(?) to get results. I mean more than that embryonic binary boardgame we use, however a 'wider' *computability *may include logical domains we so far did not even hear about. So beware the word. I do not like mathematicians (the old Greeks?) from before the time when zero was invented. (maybe Bruno's simple arithmetics is an exception?). I am not ready to debate my ideas: my "agnostic" thinking is NG for argumentation.
