Unfortunately Jesse just contradicted the fact that "among the binary predicate symbols must be the equality symbol =." (Shoenfield, pg. 14) and so x=x is just =(x,x) which is of the form pa_1,...,a_n Jesse just mentioned. > He completely ignores > the clause for, say, negation, which says that ~B is false in M iff B > is true in M. Unfortunately Jesse contradicted with the fact that: Nam wrote about that negation, on May 24th: > Jesse wasn't correct on what Shoenfield wrote on pg. 19, where > Schoenfield wrote: > "If A is ~B, then M(A) is H_~(M(B)) > where (on the same pg. 19) M(A) = T iff pM(M(a1), ..., M(an)) > and "(i.e., iff the n-tuple (M(a1), ..., M(an)) belongs to the > predicate pM". [where M here is a structure]. and that Jesse himself responded to my mentioning on the negation on May 25th: > You're absolutely right. I said he defined the truth value of ~ B as > H_~(B), when it should be H_~(M(B)). (Actually, what Nam writes as M > is a funky script A in my copy, but no matter.) > > Not that Nam will either understand or admit this. > Don't know much about me admitting anything here but I'll never understand why he border-lined dishonesty when he said "He _completely_ ignores the clause for, say, negation" when he and I had _actually_ talked about it!

That's a pretty old one. I found it funny for the reason that it was newsworthy in the first place: an unaccredited school included such a poorly written, ungrammatical and badly punctuated passage in their advertising material. Some context can be found at http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-123331746.html. -- Jesse F.

Bond May I ask what you think the significance of *this* sig is, elitist swine? (Um, I assume it makes sense to say that one can solve differential and partial differential equations "numerically". Is the joke that it doesn't actually make sense to say that?) -- hz
