That Platt, is why I see little point "arguing".
I did state my point somewhat axiomatically, but you do actually know what I
meant, yet all you can do is fire the ligusitic logical consequence back at
me.
I could have said ... I'm pretty sure there will be precious few axioms of
any practical significance in the real human world (outside maths or the
lab) that are amenable to any kind of absolute proof, so I wont lose any
sleep over that fact, nor waste any effort arguing about it. But it's a lot
more words for you to pick holes in.
Ian
