That is what those words mean.              So the minimum bar is:       For at least one program: correctly determine       "yes, this halts for all inputs" OR "no, this       doesn't halt for some input"              You really need to give up some of that bluster       it makes you look quite foolish.              > All you are doing is shouting from the mountain tops that you are just       > an ignorant pathological liar.                     --       Copyright 2025 Olcott |
