Are counterexamples the most soi thing in mathematics?>heh, that's a nice conjecture you've got there>be a shame if someone...>constructed a completely absurd counterexample that isn't applicable for 99.9999% of cases or found a number a googolplex to the power of a googolplex out that disproves itI have negative respect for these "people".
Weierstrassbros, our response?
>>16984306Only if you consider pure mathematics to be "reddit." If any counterexamples exist, then the rule does not follow from the acioms you hold.Now if you only consider applied mathematics "valid," then often times these counterexamples are irrelevant to any use case in the real world.
>>16984338I now propose the anti-reddit ruleRule except counter-exampleThe exception literally confirms the rule.
>>16984365If !AThen AThis is a vaguely (really not) relevant anecdote but that basic logic was how I was trained to set up a timed pulse when working with PLC's. So it's not totally useless.
>>16984306Lemme guess, your professor shot down your conjecture?
