Re: spoon-discuss: Re: spoon-business: CFI


So basically, what you're saying is, let's decide that indeterminate values
are whatever we want them to be. I ask 'Is my score not equal to 92?'; we
then decide whether or not to apply the principle of 'no' to it. I ask 'Is
my score 92?'; we decide again what the answer is, based on whatever we feel
like thinking.

Why not just say 'the answer to any query is whatever we want it to be'?
-Because what you want and what we want are very different. What it sounds to me like Dan wants is a way to not break the game. It seems perfectly sensible to me. If you ask "is my score not equal to 92" we say we can't tell. If you ask "is my score greater than 92, because if it is, x happens," we say "no" to prevent x from happening for the time being, until we can tell what your score /is./ I've probably confused things more here, but does that make sense?-
