Roe rebuts the rebuttal by saying that such feedback did not occur in 1968 when a similar scheme was in place. Doe rebuts the rebuttal to the rebuttal by pointing out the obvious truth that in 1968, the international market was rather different. And so the rhetoric goes, on and on, back and forth, naked assertion followed by bald contradiction, until the mind is dizzy. I, for one, would like to hear the evidence or the proofs for any of the statements made. We are a civilization that is drowning in digits, many of them totally meaningless, while the meaningful ones are often unaccompanied by any understanding of how they might be meaningfully processed further.
Someone undoubtedly knows the answer.
This is known as a mathematical system, and such systems are as plentiful as the flowers in the spring. The difficulty extends beyond mathematics and into language itself. And I know an intelligent adult, born and bred in the English language, who has misunderstood this. It is only too easy to come to the conclusion that math and the natural language in which it is embedded are hocus pocus, gobbledegook, and that one can find much better things in life to occupy one s time. Let the accountants, the physicists, the computer scientists, and other such nerds rejoice in their math and do their damnedest.
