It's simply not possible to evaluate it, since it's not been couched
into language from which rigorous, quantitative deductions can be made
and tested. Folks can no more assume ID is false than they can assume
that my polka-dotted monster in my garage is false. It's meaningless
and false/true simply doesn't bear on it.
