So you believe. Erroneously.

The reason that we know about these pairs
is that,
if a finite sequence has a false claim,
then it has a first.false claim,

But in case of darkness this cannot be seen.

Our ability is the product of long centuries
of intense effort by our best people.
If someone wakes up one morning and announces
"I'm going to repeat that work of centuries today"
and they _fail_ at their project,
they should not conclude, from that,
that all that previous work was in error.

Most of it concerns potential infinity and is correct.
