Saying he's wrong does not prove that he is. Your "proof" that 5-8

Yes, you've declared that repeadedly, by _dogma_. Are you the Pope of
Mathematics or what? Or is it true that I'm not allowed to enter the
Sacred Rites of you and your companions?

No, you can prove him wrong. Using only the axioms (1)-(4) and any
standard first order logic, give a derivation of (5)-(8). That's how
you prove what you've claimed.

This is *not* what you've done. Instead, you've given a particular
model of (1)-(4) and shown that (5)-(8) are true in that model. But
that does not show that (5)-(8) are theorems of (1)-(4).

Claiming that Ullrich is being dogmatic when he has repeatedly
explained *why* you haven't proved what you claim is a bit sad,
frankly. But not surprising, given that you've also insulted me due
to my nationality. No sense in actually addressing what Ullrich has
said nor in answering the questions I've asked, huh?
