Talk:Essay:Quantifying Openmindedness (view source)
Revision as of 15:39, February 26, 2010
, 15:39, February 26, 2010→The gravity question: it implies an absurd discontinuity in the limit as the exponent approaches 2. Open your mind, please, and let logic in.
::::: You accuse ME of having a closed mind because I actually looked for evidence? The evidence might not be what you want it to be, but that doesn't make it less true. 2.00000001 will crash the planets into the sun, that's a mathematical and physical fact. I dare you to test it with a simulation, that would really show how open minded you are. Also admitting you're wrong is part of being open minded. I'm correct. Run the tests and admit it. You're so proud of your open mind, this shouldn't be a difficult task, now would it? Really mr Schlafly, run the simulation. As I said, I doubted my teacher so with my open mind I immediatly did some tests. And they confirmed what I learned. Sometimes logical deductions are simply wrong.[[User:Marnick|Marnick]] 09:16, 26 February 2010 (EST)

:::::: Marnick, it's not necessary or helpful to run a simulation to test a logical truth. One doesn't "look for evidence" that "2+2=4", and your claim that the planets "will crash" into the sun (within a reasonable time) for any value of the exponent slightly different from 2 is mathematically fallacious. For starters, it implies an absurd discontinuity in the limit as the exponent approaches 2. Open your mind, please, and let logic in.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 10:39, 26 February 2010 (EST)
