This is not a philosophy discussion, and Alan Turing already plowed this ground. The original claim "Bend - a language that blocks AI mistakes via proof [...]" is unsupportable.

But that's not so. You have introduced a qualifier that is known to be false.

Yes, I agree -- you should stop doing that. I keep referring to the original technical reason the original claim is unsupportable, others keep raising objections without trying to think through their positions.

It's not as though the Halting Problem is on the Millennium Prize Problem list, open to contradiction/reconsideration by some future challenge. It's a theorem, not a conjecture.
