:::::I realize that, but isn't it possible that it could eventually reach an arbitrarily large number that would be extremely close to 100% conservatism? In my humble opinion, conservatism (as is the case with nearly everything) has some sort of limit. Whether it will be reached in our lifetimes (or 10 or 100 lifetimes from now) is unknowable. My point is, if there were some sort of hypothetical figure that represented total conservatism, that it could not be reached by Conservapedia's Law? Of course, I hope that eventually we do reach 100% conservatism, but I am curious as to your opinion, Mr. Schlafly. [[User:DennyW66|DennyW66]] 23:55, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

::::::I do not follow your logic. Geometric progressions always reach infinity when the absolute value of the ratio is greater than or equal to 1. Conervapedia's Law posits a ratio of 2. Do you expect conservative edits to Conservapedia to increase at this doubling rate? If not, why? [[User:BradB|BradB]] 12:57, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

:::::::Take, for example, conservative words. There is not an infinite amount of words (or possible words) in the English language. If the amount of conservative words increases at this geometric rate, isn't there a point where every word is conservative? Since the series continues indefinitely to infinity, and will never reach infinity, it reasons that it will pass this point at some time. From that, that is why I agree adding some definition of "liberal creep" as a corollary to Conservapedia's Law, as it is not possible to reach infinite conservatism. TO answer your original question, while I certainly hope growth continues at this rate (if not faster), the long-term accuracy of this insight (and by long-term i mean millennia, or until the Rapture) remains to be seen.
