What an intriguing suggestion! Oops (one ought to be especially careful to avoid typos when being mildly sarcastic <g>) read that as You mean like "A pig can fly" can be changed into a truth by a Martian with different "frameworks, axioms, models", but who means exactly what we mean by "pig", and "fly" and "is". What an intriguing suggestion! -- dorayme

The other possibility that you missed, amazingly is that it is simply false. Now, because you have been sent here to this Google Group (a sort of Hell) for punishment, let me add: Make absolutely sure now that you will rant and rage and abuse me for pointing this out or say something teensy and cryptic. What a low down creep like you will never ever do is be a man and say, "Yes, that is right and I missed that one!"

It is reasoning, which is obviously very uncomfortable for you. Besides Ewoll says the lines are diverging or converging, but he wont say which, you say they are parallel but then not parallel, yes or no is not possible to such stupidity, you need to sort your story / premises.
