Re: Godel Goofed? Nope.



You are quite adept at avoiding the point, but, then
that's what America is all about... Free enterprise
has marketing as its foundation, and marketing
has persuasiveness, rather than truth as its objective.
I can see all through this though, that is why I
continue to refocus your attention on the point
at hand... You accuse me of Red Herrings,
when this is your own prime tactic...

I am quickly losing interest in one who's
focus is not on truth...

Perhaps this false assumption is where everyone else is
failing to understand. They assume that if all the rules
are followed, then everything must be correct. This
false assumption derives from the false assumption
that the set of rules for English grammar is perfect.
Within the branch of computer science that is the
subject matter of the group listed below, it is common
knowledge, that mere English Grammar is very far
from a sufficient measure of validity...

I am not speaking of English from the viewpoint
of grade school instruction, but, English itself
as a mathematical formalism...

I must now pin you down to a sub-micro point...
Are you going to use you typical tactic of avoidance?

Do you agree that the following sentence does not form a valid statetment?

{I am going to the}

What if anything is missing from this sentence,
that would make it a valid statement?

{I am going there} is grammatical, yet is
anything missing? If this "statement" is taken
in isolation, and not connected to any other
context, would it still be fully meaningful?

Cite me even ONE example of a "statement" that isn't about anything..
