Again, you are not getting what I was saying about the corpus. I am pulling from a vocabulary to express my personal outlook from personal experience, from direct observation. It's not either/or. You are the one completely rejecting half of all power-of-truth-finding available to you, and calling it intelligent? I'm explaining mathematics to you and you're complaining that I'm leaning on centuries of established proofs instead of, what, inventing a new lexicon just for talking to you?

I am giving up. You are engaging with the points in your head instead of those on the page.

You match the spirit that you comprehend, not me.
