I'd hate to see where we would be if that were true. And take the class, you might actually learn how the algorithms you use in your everyday life were worked out. Unless they no longer use Logic in Math, its been 20 years since I was in college....
A hypothesis is a suggested explanation/reasonable proposal. In no way shape or form is it any sort of proof. The person making the hypothesis should work towards proving his/her hypothesis.
If said person only creates the hypothesis, but does no work to further the cause, what credibility does that person have? In my estimation, little to none. What good is a explanation/proposal/guess if there is no evidence to back it up?
Furthermore, when all the hypotheses are connected and 1 is cast in doubt, the originator should go back and reevaluate the entire set. He/she may provide further proof that the direction is valid. If he cannot or will not provide that detail, that branch of reasoning will most likely be discarded until someone else champions the cause.
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Feel free to continue arguing.
Bad analogy on my part. Anyway, I'm done. I let myself get drawn into a petty pissy fight with you. Congrats. Please do look into the logic class. People are not equations. So they have different rules of engagment. When the rules are observedpeople can discuss thier different opinions with some measure of intelligence. When they are not, well you get petty pissy fights.
As to the original issue, there does not seem to be much left to discuss. Mamba looks to be moving on, assuming AlCapwn releases him. Good for Mamba for taking the high road, even though it was the most difficult.
I look forward to seeing how this all plays out.
