Or, such as in your case, have so much blind faith in their own infallibility that they are incapable of seeing or comprehending even basic evidence to the contrary. > I try to be fair. Rubbish. Your instinctive reaction to counter-arguments is abuse. There have also been cases of claiming credit for work that was pointed out to you as well-known. If that is "trying", then you have put not even nominal effort into it. (Long, non-mathematical whinge removed) M -- Mark "No Nickname" Murray Notable nebbish, extreme generalist.

And so can a majority of people, which is why social metrics are not a reliable indicator of factual correctness. Yet you still parade it as if it were. > You have been told yet again. That you have a finding which claims to find mathematics in self-contradiction, given either without proof or via proof by "Google says it must be so." If the evidence should lead you to conclude that this is a correct finding, then Occam must be spinning in his grave. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.

I recall this as being his recent threading: * factoring * TSP * Diophantine equations * discrete logs At this rate, I'd expect either attempting to crack ECC or another attempt at P = NP. Hopefully the latter, as it is something I understand more thoroughly than number theory. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E. Knuth |
