   In other words you know that your IQ is much lower?   
   I know that you are much higher than the normal of   
   100 IQ. No one below 100 is stupid. You are at least   
   some degree of smart. Even 115 IQ is smart, smart   
   enough to graduate college.

   The only "errors" that anyone every pointed out   
   were never ERRORS in the absolute sense. The   
   were only "errors" within the assumption that   
   the conventional view is infallible.

   The conventional view has several key definitions.   
   Some of these definitions contradict other definitions   
   within this same system.

   Yes they are. Yet they contradict other definitions   
   of this same system and that is their error. You   
   are smart and capable of understanding me. You did   
   just bring up a crucially important point.

   It never has been this. It probably did seem   
   like this before I could translate my mere   
   intuitions into first principles derived from   
   standard definitions.

   My statement was not asking for mere rhetoric.   
   It asked for you to show that you understand what   
   "semantic entailment" is and how it works.   
      
   When is answered by mere rhetoric this indicates   
   that you have no clue what "semantic entailment"   
   is and how it works.

   (1) Turing machine deciders: Transform finite string   
   inputs by finite string transformation rules into   
   {Accept, Reject} values.   
      
   Here is the same thing more formally and less clearly.   
      
   Definition: Turing-Machine Decider D   
      
   A Turing-machine decider D is a Turing machine that computes   
   a total function D : Σ* → {Accept, Reject}. That is:   
      
   1. Totality: For every finite string input w ∈ Σ*, D   
   halts and outputs either Accept or Reject.

   Not according to the above two definitions.
