    uh, saying you -guess- godel was right is already lacking
    that humility you say you're going to strive for. calling
    that guess 'educated' under the circumstances is positively
    arrogant.

    and the title of the thread is wrong, btw - you are continuing
    to spew nonsense about perfectly valid refutations that
    appeared before the one you accepted.
