Yeah, but you made a statement about the kind of logic you cannot study, so we can begin by formalizing that.

I think Godel may have disproved you on that.

Never mind true or false, it is completely irrelevant that you are studying ternary logic.

edit to add -

I can imagine an even greater being studying ontological logic.

Citation needed. I'm not aware of people who have been persuasively shown to be innocent post-execution.

In that case you have done very little research and cannot really be trusted to have an informed opinion on the matter.

I think you are underestimating polemic.

Cynic is not a pejorative term, is more of a philosophical outlook.

A Mobius strip is, and it seems in this story you whichever direction you take, you end up back at a single mans testimony for a plea.

Only one off the top of my head. Pilot did get pretty famous for it though.

edit - Vlad the Impaler probably also counts, given he was the Voivode of the Polity of Wallachia, so he was basically a military governor.

Precisely - you're not arguing against the article at all here.

Yep, I should have probably made that clear. Was more side commenting through the metaphor. In general, learning English like that works quite well, but then it throws you when you are then asked to conjugate the verb 'to be' in French class and nobody has ever asked you to ever conjugate a verb in English. You end up knowing how to use English, but do not learn the technical terminology required to dissect it.
