RE: POLL: Should Moo! Wrapper be Removed from the Whitelist?
Yeah, I see what you're saying. Words are hard.. (why I've never been a fan of philosophy..)
I suppose one example of triviality is something that could easily be inferred from what we already know. moo! wrapper falls under this category. One can think of other instances, e.g. calculating as many digits of Pi as possible "just to check" that its decimal representation doesn't terminate.
Checking the digits of pi is crucial!
So is the testing that collatz conjecture is in fact true!
So is SETI!
etc.
The thing about pi is we can prove its decimal expansion never terminates. On the other hand, there is currently no proof that the Collatz sequence always reaches 1 no matter the starting n, nor is there compelling evidence ET doesn't exist out there.
Learned a lot from this conversation. Looking forward to more = )
Likewise! We'll come back to these topics in later discussions I'm sure.
