Since that phrasing might be misunderstood, I should say that I mean:
Zermelo's motivation was to prove that for every set, there exists a
well ordering on it.

Well no formal modern mathematical support perhaps, Moe(x), but I
don't think you can say no formal mathematical import.

Oh I readily grant you, Tony, that the mathematikers would rather
argue with you than me because you deal in commonly held beliefs
mathematikers are used to dealing with whereas I deal in truth which
mathematikers are not used to dealing with.

No idear what you're on about here, Tony. When you find some
mathematiker who can read without moving his lips let me know.

Of course not. You do however have a curve.
