Re: Moore on Skolem's Paradox

I was answering Aatu's question. He asked the question, whether "the
set of all quadruplets of naturals x,y,z,n with n>2 such that x^n + y^n
= z^n" and "the empty set"meant the same thing. If I did know that
"the set of all quadruplets of naturals x,y,z,n with n>2 such that x^n
+ y^n = z^n" meant the empty set, then that would have answered the
question. The answer would be "yes".

I imagine he was expecting the answer "no".
