RE: VMs: Time to get hands dirty

>Rule of thumb: You can NOT prove something is "wrong" unless you know what
is "right." If you don't know what is right, it is ALL speculation.

	If the same results can not be accomplished by anyone else following
the given set of rules - then the rules that make up the solution can
certainly
be considered wrong. If it doesn't work - it's wrong. This doesn't mean that
the
concept is wrong necessarily, but if it can't be duplicated then the
inventor of
the hypothetical solution needs to revise his rules so that others could
repeat
the application of those rules and arrive at the same results.

	So, in my view John's theory as it stands is wrong, because no one else is
capable of duplicating the results. You are right that it is impossible to
disprove
a belief. People believe in lots of things and very little will ever
convince them
not to stop believing. Logic doesn't play a role in those discussions, but
logic
does play a role in 'reading'.

	John.
