You have just conceded my point. Then the MGA is not a logical proof (as you have sometimes claimed, and Quentin claimed even more forcefully), but rather an argument by incredulity, or an intuition pump as Daniel Dennett puts it. Nothing wrong with that of course, we just need to know what has actually been achieved. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics hpco...@hpcoders.com.au University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au Latest project: The Amoeba's Secret (http://www.hpcoders.com.au/AmoebasSecret.html) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
