I hope you are being flippant and don't really think that disproves what Jason has said! If in doubt consider whether the phrase "in mod 4 arithmetic" was necessary to what you wrote. If it is, then arithmetic remains necessarily so until you can come up with something that is self-contradictory *without* any such qualifiers being required. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
