-Proof techniques #2: Proof by Oddity.
- SAMPLE: To prove that horses have an infinite number of legs.
-[1] Horses have an even number of legs.
-[2] They have two legs in back and fore legs in front.
-[3] This makes a total of six legs,
- which certainly is an odd number of legs for a horse.
-[4] But the only number that is both odd and even is infinity.
-[5] Therefore, horses must have an infinite number of legs.
-
-Topics is be covered in future issues include proof by:
- intimidation,
- gesticulation (handwaving),
- "try it; it works",
- constipation (I was just sitting there and...),
- blatant assertion,
- changing all the 2's to n's,
- mutual consent,
- lack of a counterexample, and,
- "it stands to reason".
