But wait …
There's another dimension to this one …
Mathematical Logic !!
So, I kind of view Maths as 'hard-core' logic. There are proofs in Maths.
I think many people overlook the intrinsic logic in Mathematics. All they see is numbers and they get lost in the machinations.
However, maths upholds logic (in the background) whilst 'other' things are happening, during say, a maths procedure.
But if an attempt at a mathematical proof is flawed (or in logical error), it is much easier to see, for all observers. (Ie as compared with some kind of verbal debate and the necessity to apply 'Logical Fallacy' distinctions, to reveal the flaws).
I'll use Mathis as an example. His 'proofs' seem to be a direct attack on the logic intrinsic to mathematics. Or is it that he adopts a Machiavellian stance to some aspect of it before he starts out ?
Whatever he's up to, it is certainly destructive, and seems to be a direct attack on the intrinsic logic which operates throughout mathematics in general.
Cheers
