Harristotelian Logic

I say that the math community is corrupt and inept, so to me it's quite possible for a simple solution to the factoring problem to be presented to members of that community on Usenet, and the damn fools not get it.

Is it an excuse that I had lots of failures before that I thought were solutions?

Or, if the math community is at all competent, should it be able to tell a solution when it sees one, no matter how many failures preceded it?

I think a lot of people play at being mathematicians with no real clue about what it really means to be one, so, yes, they can see a dramatic and simple solution to what was thought to be a great problem, and it just sail right over them.

You need to adjust to the mathematical reality.

The proof is right there in front of you.

That I'd win at the end in this way maybe too much for your mind to take.

But that's what happened.

The math wars are over.

[A reply to someone who said that the mathematical community would be able to say whether or not a possible solution is indeed one.]

But what if you didn't? What would that mean then?

Would it really be some random thing, or such a huge miss that it can only mean one thing?

Like if a pro baseball player can't catch an in-field fly?

Maybe he's not really a pro?

If you people can have a dramatic and short solution to a problem worth hundreds of billions of dollars to the world right in front of your faces and not see the damn thing, what good are you really as mathematicians?

What good are you to the world if you fail with something easy AND important?

Maybe then, you're just fakes? Maybe you're actors playing at being something so far beyond you that you can't see simple stuff?

Maybe you're just about style with no substance?
