My prophetic ability is almost mystical. Cower before me.
Drich, as I said on page one, this argument is only relevant or logically consistent from within the tautological loop. I can see where it works for you but really, is there any value at all to offering it to people OUTSIDE the loop?
Just because a truth can be identified as "X" does it make it any less true?
I had to google "tautological loop" as this was the first time I'd ever heard of it. this is what Wiki said:In logic, a tautology (from the Greek word ταυτολογία) is a formula which is true in every possible interpretation.

If this is what you meant then the reason I offered this was to offer you the truth. If you did not understand it then I offered it so you may question this position. allowing me to provide further explaination.
