It is a particular, so it is not exhaustive, so it is not a tautology. So, your question to Barry is a non sequitur, for the “active information” involved is not a tautology. |
What? Go read it in context. It won't make a difference. |
I like Clive's previous analogy better: Quote | " to give any positive number, is to say that it is more than zero. That’s not a tautology, for the positive number isn’t all positive numbers, it is a specific number, a specific amount. " |
Shorter Clive: "If I say that 5 is a (A) positive number (B) greater than zero, that's not tautological"
Apparently, even if 5 as (A) belongs to (B) by definition, and the converse is also true, by definition.
Here's the kicker, Clive: ALL POSSIBLE MEMBERS OF "A" BELONG TO "B" (and vice-versa). |
clive,baby he he he he be some kind of craaaazy transcendental mathematician
yo axe him do he think axioms be all tautological and shit
fo real, clive,baby be all "that sh1t 6e what g0d be tr1pp1n on y0 they be hi5 numbah5 too h0w you crunk you cn c0unt wit d3m and sh1t" |
When he denies his tautology thrice before the cock crows, it'll be a notology. |
It's like he learned a new word and wants to use it as much as possible. Maybe it came up on his "word of the day" calendar.
