It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false (or vice versa). This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes a third option, which is that: there may have been an insufficient investigation, and therefore there is insufficient information to prove the proposition be either true or false.

Gary has finally made his contribution to science. We now know that self-awareness, like temperature, has an absolute zero. |
What a great concept!
Could this advance open up a rich potential for explanations for achieving impenetrability and extreme density under conditions of superstupidity, due to the formation of Bozo-Beerstein condensates? |
Well, it could, but Beerstein does not appear to be a contributor to this mess.
Gary's gone stone-cold stupid all by himself, the product (if one dare call it such) of such a complete lack of ability and awareness that it might as well be treated as a singularity.
One certainly hopes, fervently, that it is singular. |
Note that according to the Dembskian extrapolation of thermodynamics to information ("conservation of information"), absolute zero in terms of minimum enthalpy and entropy must also be a state of minimal information. The latter is an excellent restatement of the Gaulinian condition! Since the Beerstein aspects are just an extension from what we now understand to be the original, minimum-information, Bozo gaseous emanations, it follows that one can indeed reach the Gaulinian ground state without requiring Beerstein-type involvement. That's merely another route to the same final condition.
If, as I hope, you are right in viewing this as a singularity, it suggests that Gaulin lies within the informational equivalent of a black hole: in other words, he is on the wrong side of an horizon from which no information can ever escape. This could explain a lot!
