Wrong. Substitute "positive" for "negative", and your sentence makes |
| 5 |
sense, but invalidates your point. |

So *what* if it's "non-self-dual"? Who cares in the slightest whether |
| 12 |
it's "non-self-dual"? How does that invalidate the conclusion that the |
| 13 |
package hasn't been built? Repeating these claims with nothing to back |
| 14 |
them up, doesn't make them true. |

Any moron can quote Latin from a textbook in the hope of appearing |
| 19 |
clever (bonus points if you fail to form a complete sentence, and end in |
| 20 |
a question mark to create an aura of ambiguity). Challenge my logic in |
| 21 |
*English*. |

It's not "guessing". It's sensible behaviour. It's not random. it's |
| 26 |
logical, it's consistent, and it makes sense. |

I know. Doesn't turn "falling over in a big heap" from a bad result into |
| 32 |
a good result. |

Of course. It has a higher priority, and is consulted first. Your point |
| 37 |
is? |
