barry: | Quote | | 2+3=5 cannot be verified. It is accepted as self-evidently true because any denial would come at the price of affirming an absurdity. |
markcc: | Quote | | It’s absolutely possible to verify the statement “2 + 3 = 5”. It’s also absolutely possible to prove that statement. In fact, both of those are more than possible: they’re downright easy, provided you accept the standard definitions of arithmetic. And frankly, only a total idiot who has absolutely no concept of what verification or proof mean would ever claim otherwise. |
