But you're not trying to prove X = 3 and starting out by assuming X = 3. There wasn't even an attempt to disprove the assumption in TFA.

But why would anyone assume that n horses, for arbitrary n, are the same color? That's absurd. Anyone who's ever seen a field with horses in it would trivially know that this is a faulty assumption to make. You might as well say

I use emacs daily, and I really like it. A major part of the problem is that Emacs development is completely captured by the, shall we say, esoteric personality of its original author. Emacs is a political project first and foremost—this mu

Can someone explain why the development of a computer programming language needs "mod teams" and other stuff? I don't use Rust; does Rust aspire to also be a social network or something? It seems to me, from my outsider'
