Wow, it has *EXPLODED* in Google search rankings. Your brilliant new
idea now occupies the top two positions for "non-coalgebraic axiom"
out of "About 112,000,000 results"! BOTH of the top two out of more
than 112 MILLION pages!

You are a genius!

I am using Google. Were you not aware that Google directs queries
from IP addresses based in different geographical areas to different
servers with different settings, and frequently gives different search
results?

It also gives different results based on whether you are logged in to
a Google account, as well of dozens of other known variables and
probably millions of unknown variables.

Obviously, I'm not as successful as JSH.

The third hit
(http://www.graveyardofthegods.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10053)
is a reference to my axiom by some third party. This means that my work
is not as deep as JSH's, since importance is inversely proportional to
number of people discussing it.

If my axiom were *really* good, it would be suppressed.

You are counting my vote right?

1) Wiki
2) Blog(spot)

How is e.g.

For every two sets A and B there is a set having exactly A and B as
elements.

a definition? What does it define?
