Your ABCD construction reminds me of a paper I read as a philosophy student in the late 70s, Gettier's Is Justified True Belief Knowledge wherein the necessary conditions are established that allow one to say that they know something.
Thanks for the headache :-)
No problem, really. :>)
I grew up in Duluth which is right on the border of Minn and Wisc. I spent many a day justifying my Vikings against half my friends who were packer fans in such ways. It was kind of like trying to find new and better disgusting ways to insult each others parents.
It really was a lesson that should have prepared me for journalism or politics, but alas I would rather have cheered for the packers than ever joining one of those professions.
All joking aside, my season of football enjoyment is only truly complete if my Vikings prevail against the packers, at least in Green Bay. OK, I like watching them lose always, even to the Cowboys which I hate with a passion that I fear may even send me to hell.
Well, er, ah, right next to the disgust I feel for the Steelers, Raiders, Dolphins, and Chiefs.
I really am not bitter, it just takes awhile for me to get over a loss. LOL
