But, Adysav, I'm not claiming it's true. I'm claiming it's possible. Do you just not understand what I'm saying? I'm not saying "a statement is true if you can't derive a contradiction", I'm saying that a statement is possibly true if you can't derive a contradiction. Two worlds of difference there.
