Nevertheless, a lot of highly intelligent people (like Brent and Russell) have followed Bruno's proof all the way through, and although they may have issues with it, they don't rail constantly against step 3. You're the only person who does this. Maybe you would like to consider the possibility that these clever people have noticed something that - despite, no doubt, being equally clever - you've missed. There are much more interesting objections to Bruno's proof than the one you cite, which appears to be, at best, a semantic quibble. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
