That is now getting completely ridiculous.
The point is that Isles' or Nelson's work has mathematical content, and
Mueckenheim's has not.

Yet WM implies that he agrees with Isles. Therefore
WM has mathematical content if and only if Isles has
mathematical content.

That's just nonsense.

First, of course, persons do not have mathematical content. Second,
just saying "I agree with Einstein" does not make me a physicist.

We already know that WM makes many inferences that
are invalid in ZFC, but are apparently invalid in
the WM-Isles theory. So WM is wrong to say that ZFC
proves the existence of only finitely many naturals,
but right to say that WM-Isles proves the existence
of only finitely many naturals.

Ah, yes. I forgot to mention: since I publicly referred to Einstein,
I'd appreciate it if you use the term "JFH-Einstein theory" when
discussing relativity.

I appreciate your cooperation. Stay tuned for my judgment on natural
selection.
