A 'tautology' in prepositional logic is one that is true no matter how you interpret it. Since you can't prove a 'negative' (i.e. 'prove they didn't do it [conspire to fool the public about Titanic]'), the author will forever be 'convinced that they did.' So he never has to bother thinking. But his 'lack of thinking' is pretty obvious anyway. daestrom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tautology_%28logic%29 Posted by on August 13, 2007, 7:34 pm Please log in for more thread options On Mon, 13 Aug 2007 17:26:11 -0400, "daestrom" > >> wrote: >>> >>> >>> > On Tue, 07 Aug 2007 23:35:07 -0000, beal...@gmail.com wrote: >>> >>> >>It's a funny thing about the Titanic, there is some question about >>> >>whether or not it was in fact the Titanic at all that sank. >>> >>> > So we finally find out what you're using that computer for 5 hours per >>> > day... to search for other loons!

He'd probably get a chuckle out of the ghinius trying to appear less dopey by mentioning a conspiracy book and pretending that reading such stuff should be considered a studious endeavor. George may as well claim to be looking for vital subtext in Three Stooges dialog. :-) Wayne Posted by Bill B. on August 13, 2007, 8:03 pm Please log in for more thread options On Aug 13, 7:34 pm, wmbjkREM...@citlink.net wrote: > On Mon, 13 Aug 2007 17:26:11 -0400, "daestrom" > > > > > >> wrote: > > > >>> > On Tue, 07 Aug 2007 23:35:07 -0000, beal...@gmail.com wrote: > > >>> >>It's a funny thing about the Titanic, there is some question about > >>> >>whether or not it was in fact the Titanic at all that sank. > > >>> > So we finally find out what you're using that computer for 5 hours per > >>> > day... to search for other loons!
