There's no trouble. I've stated a *counterexample* which disproves
your claim:

But you can't disprove a proof, right?

That's right. If your argument w e r e a (correct) proof we
certainly would have a problem here.


I'm sorry. Your argument is not a proof, that's for sure.

Well, here it is, again. [...]

Well, if an argument is incorrect, repetitions won't help, I guess.


In attempting to attack that logical argument, you [selected
a certain function] which contradicts that conclusion.

Right. That method is called /the method of counterexample/.


Then, logically, either [my] argument is incorrect--so an erroneous step
can be found--or YOUR [try to give a counterexample] is bogus.

....or math is inconsistent.

Imho, your argument is incorrect. Why? I simply can't follow your
argumentation, sorry about that. And imho it *should be* possible (for
me) to follow your argumentation, if it were mathematical in nature.
