Support your claim.
above or at 0.
That is not a claim
It is a claim.
but a logical conclusion.
Feeling reallyreallyreally sure
isn't logic.
Finite sequences of not.first.false claims
are logic.
Feel as sure as you want to feel.
No one is trying to stop you from feeling.
But provide the claim.sequences, too.
If you disagree
you are not worth to receive any answer
from me or another intelligent person.
A catch.22.
You (WM) CAN prove your claim (so easily!) BUT
anyone ASKING you to do it is unworthy
and therefore shouldn't RECEIVE a (so easy!) proof.
Funny how that works.

| "It must come sometimes to 'jam to-day',"
| Alice objected.
|
| "No, it can't," said the Queen.
| "It's jam every other day:

| "I don't understand you," said Alice.
