Yes, I think we both agree on _that_.

Maybe you want to come fight Virgil and Tribble with me in Well Ordering the
Reals. They seem to hate my T-riffic number system, and the concept of the
reals as a sequence of infinitesimally differing values, but it's all fitting
together, bit by bit, into quite a theory. When they finally come out of that
garden of theirs and look back, all they'll see is a cave, but there will be
tea and cookies waiting, and sunglasses for that transition period. Haha. :)


Is 1/x continuous? Sure, if oo=-oo.
