Verifying the historical record of fact is not an appeal to authority.

...on your conscious choice to be ignorant?

Do you want me to quote Boolos instead? Is that current enough?
Unfortunately, I do not have my "Logic, Logic, Logic" on hand. But, even
Boolos states that Frege did not make his case against Kant. That is in the
very book that you cite as authoritative.

I would like to say that you are pathetic. Nevertheless, I do understand
your questions about first-order logic. You are more insightful than your
vulgar etiquette suggests.

Thank you for some of your other comments. You confuse the redirection of a
problem with the solution of a problem, however.
