A physics argument and a mathematics argument

I've to agree since I've studied both (at least partwise).

I think I would feel some of the same confusion
if WM was a practicing lawyer.
Lawyers must argue, too.
Surely, a lawyer wouldn't think that
"Boom! Here's the conclusion"
is an _argument_ ?

*lol* There once was a philosopher (Meinong) who claimed:
"Es gibt Dinge von denen gilt, dass es sie gar nicht gibt."
[There are things that are considered not to exist at all.]
Seems that WM is a Meinongian. :-)
