Solving both your problems with the assumptions of math and other, more serious, issues. I'll do the same thing here, on my end (if you absolutely need me to), we'll have anyone else who cares to involve themselves do the same, lets see if our results are similar?
IOW 1+1=2......christ almighty, I'm so embarrassed that I had to explain this to anyone.....
No, that doesn't work.
Adding 1+1 chestnuts to make 2 chestnuts presupposes that 1+1=2, ie it presupposes the validity of mathematics in order to prove the validity of mathematics. Arguing in a circle.
Try again, won't ya?
