| Quote (Kattarina98 @ Nov. 04 2010,12:58) | Neal Tedford struggles with the concept of nested hierarchy - and looses:
| Quote | | Zachriel represented sets but it wasn't a nested hierarchy. By definition a nested hierarchy means that a subset must be fully contained within the parent. In what meaningful way are lions and cats fully contained within dolphins? |
Zachriel should be given an award for his battle to achieve the impossible. |
Funny thing is, he's pitching a hissy fit over notation:
{fish{dolphin,{cat,lion}}}
For some inscrutable, dumbass reason, he thinks {dolphin,{cat,lion}} is the dolphin set, despite people repeatedly telling him exactly what the notation actually means. It's notation! It's fucking arbitrary! It means whatever the fuck Zachriel says it means:
"Let '1' represent 'one'"
"No. That's wrong."
"Um...."
"It makes no sense! Integers are a sham!"
"OK, see..."
"NO!"
*sigh*
