The word 'pretend' here is a "false friend". Bruno is assuming that this word works the same in English as in French. It doesn't. He means only modestly "Can you at least confirm that you CLAIM to have a refutation of comp?" >From fr. <<pretender>> = eng. "to claim" ....I only mention this to clarify that Bruno is not breaking out in some snide sarcastic comment which would be totally atypical of him. In English "to pretend" means "to make a bullshit claim" Kim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
