Current status of Doron's Misconceptions (as of post 3583):
Handwaving consequences of his notation
Let's start with the handwaving after the ellipsis. Since Doron never bothered to do this, I did it for him:
1 → 1
2 →
3 → 2
4 → 3
5 → 4
...
n → n-1
If you do not write it out correctly one might surmise all manner of unicorn and pixie magic to happen after the ellipsis.
The right side has the 'no result' as a member of the set and is therefore *not* the set of natural numbers.
It is in fact the set of natural numbers + 'no result'.
Doron simply adds a member to the set, but does not count it. I would not want to do business with him...
Not seeing logic errors in his constructed constraints:
After a long and arduous back and forth with JSFisher Doron comes up with the following to show that you
can have equality and non-equality at the same time:
Given two sets, A and B, if there is function from A to B such that (for each a in A there is at most one b in B) AND (for each b in B there is exactly one a in A) AND (there is at least one a in A that does not have any b in B) then |A| > |B|
But this can be shown invalid by using a single set (Doron's set of all natural numbers, for example):
Given a set, A, if there is function from A to A such that (for each a in A there is at most one a in A) AND (for each a in A there is exactly one a in A) AND (there is at least one a in A that does not have any a in A) then |A| > |A|
Removing all relations with the operands:
Doron now writes his concoction as:
1 ↔ 1
2 →
3 ↔ 2
4 ↔ 3
5 ↔ 4
Where the arrows are arbitrarily enabled/disabled functions.
It shows that in fact, we have three sets!
The set on the left (which may or may not be the natural numbers or the collection of toes Doron has on his left foot, since we never know as he can not complete his notation) then we have the set of switches that enable the 'function' and then on the right we have a set which might be the collection of numbers that Doron can count to without using his fingers.
The 'magical middle' set is what makes any of Doron's proof so utterly worthless; it has no relation to either the set on the left nor to the set on the right. It is an arbitrary set of boolean switches which is not defined.
Because this 'magical middle' is not defined no conclusion can be made about any of Doron's claims. The functions might be defined, but the set that toggles them is not.
Failure to show and/or predict results (therefore disqualifying it as science):
When confronted with the following thought experiment:
Ok, Doron, I understand your argument. So, let's do a thought experiment then. I know you are able to do those, so here it is:
Let's say we have two completely separated islands (no contact is ever made), with two separate colonies (they never know about each other).
On one island (call it island A) live only people that understand Doronetics/OM
On the other island (let's call it island B) live people who will never see or be aware of anything that Doronetics/OM can bring
Let's leave these islands to develop a culture for a while (100 years? 1000 years?)
After that time of complete separation, a discoverer (like Columbus, or Darwin) visits these islands. He is unaware of Doronetics/OM and can not get it.
What is the difference he will see? How will island A differ from island B?
Doron first tries to weasel out by ignoring parts. Then he claims to disagree. And finally he smugly announces that the discoverer does see a difference.
Doron gets annoyed because it is pointed out to him that even though the discoverer can not do OM, he still sees results, so why can't Doron show results?
Redefining his claims about traditional mathematics
With a lot of hubris and huffing and puffing Doron kept shouting and claiming that traditional mathematics was inferior to OM because it did not have functions without an inverse.
When confronted by the simple example of y=x^2 he suddenly starts adding attributes of Doronetics to it to make it incorrect. But his claims where about traditional mathematics, not OM functions.
And of course, he thinks he has something when asking for a detailed explanation on how we can determine the size of sets with that function... hilarious.
And some Doron classics:
Please think about fog.
The not well-defined size of set with unbounded amount of members, is straightforward exactly as the identity of the fog is being unclear.
and
You are still missing my it.
|N| = OR not= |N|, or in other words, |N| is not well-defined.
