This is just a silly statement on so many levels. The most basic, of course, is that you dont "prove" product designs. A product is not a mathematical equation that yields a proof. Products are experienced. They are felt. So even if I wrote what I would consider the ultimate wiki tool you would be free to say feel that it sucked.
Moreover, I have not claimed that flash is better for creating a Wiki that has similar or better quality/functionality than a HTML realisation.
I have indicated that It is important to explore these ideas and not to be locked into one way of thinking, as you seem to be. In fact in my prior email I said that I *dont* think it would be a good idea to re-implmenent the same design of an html wiki in flash. So I would never try to prove what you suggest since I dont believe it would be a useful exercise.
Since you dont seem to be reading me carefully, I think a prior statement summarizes my feelings pretty clearly.

My thesis is that great new tools allow us to do more than just make us go 10% faster. They allow us to be 100% more productive. The challenge is, of course, finding those opportunities. But I never discount the possibility of finding them. Particularly at this early stage in the lifecycle of our new tools.

The bottom line is design is about exploring ideas.
