Oh?  Can you prove it?  I can prove 2 = 3 via

assume x = y,
then 2(x-y)=3(x-y),
divide through by (x-y),
thus 2=3

We KNOW that's false because, by definition, dividing by 0 (or x-y in
the example) is undefined.  You really can't prove anything, since any
proof can contain faulty reasoning or may be based on flawed
assumptions, not to mention exceptions to the rule, like classical
physics in subatomic situations.

No, I'm not an elitist. Why do you ask, peasant?
Of course I'm sane. The voices said so.
Oh sure! But what's the speed of dark?
