   People on these forums have only agreed with   
   me at most 1% of the time and the only case   
   besides Ben the agreement was on trivialities.   
      
   You are still trying to get away with the utter   
   nonsense that once correct non-termination   
   behavior criteria have been correctly met   
   that you can try again and get a different   
   result. I would really like to think that   
   you are not a damned liar, yet no alternative   
   seems reasonably plausible.

   Not when the basis of proof requires them   
   to actually pay close attention when they   
   are utterly unwilling to do this because they   
   are so sure that I must be wrong.

   I have been completely right on the essence of   
   what I have been saying for 22 years.

   OK some honesty, that it refreshing.

   It is a verified fact that I have been continually   
   correct in every essence that I have said for 22   
   continuous years.   
      
   Now I have LLM systems that show the complete details   
   of exactly how and why I am correct. If they were   
   simply "yes men" they could not possibly do this.

   I say things that do not conform to conventional   
   wisdom and people here don't even understand the   
   reasoning behind conventional wisdom.   
      
   When I point out the error in this reasoning people   
   here are utterly helpless. The most they can do is   
   say that I must be wrong entirely on the basis   
   that I contradict conventional wisdom.
