Jesus fuck, Ham, you're so stubbornly arguing a point upon which there is no disagreement that you're missing Rhythm's point, and the point of the OP, entirely.
If your point is that we can't entertain absurdities, well, you're just wrong about that. It's a goddamned thought experiment, not an existential claim.
No. The OP fails to even make a coherent point and Rhythm is telling me he agrees despite saying that in the hypothetical of the OP the law of identity doesn't hold, but it does hold, regardless of what the OP actually says. A=A holds everywhere. The OP can't say anything without saying anything. The OP can't hypothesize without A=A.
Rhythm says he agrees as he continues to tell me that in the OP's hypothetical A=A doesn't apply. But it does apply. Either that or there's no premise at all. You can't have a premise without A=A.
