uh, saying you -guess- godel was right is already lacking
that humility you say you're going to strive for. calling
that guess 'educated' under the circumstances is positively

and the title of the thread is wrong, btw - you are continuing
to spew nonsense about perfectly valid refutations that
appeared before the one you accepted.
