I don't think I can either, unless it would be something like,
"The ice cream was delicious"

No I can't.

"The only interesting answers are those which destroy the question." - Susan

"Sometimes, finding an answer to a question forces you to redefine the terms of
the question, or think differently about their relations to each other. These
are the really interesting answers: The ones that make you change the way you
see the world." - Anon comment

Judy posted an interesting question for a change:

> have an argument (or just a conversation) using
> only mathematical formulations, no words. I can cast third-hand hearsay
> evidence on this
question. At least on the "having a conversation"
issue. My grandfather worked with Albert Einstein on the
Manhattan Project, as did most of the other high-
level physicists in the US at the time. They would
occasionally get together in one of the classrooms
of Princeton University, alone, and just jackpot
ideas. My father describes my grandfather describing
hours-long "conversations" in which neither of them
said a word. One would just scribble an unfinished equation on
one of the many blackboards in the room, and then
step back and wait for the other to "comment" on it.
Sometimes the comment was another, slightly differ-
ent equation. Sometimes it was a correction to a
mistake in the original equation. Rarely -- and to
be celebrated -- there was a solution to the
equation. They celebrated by going out for ice cream. Sure
sounds like a conversation to me, but not much of
an "argument." There's a difference.
