Actually, its usually defined as being true. One of my favorite courses (I've got a Mathematics BS) was looking at the minimal number of hypothesis that you can have, and proving arithmetic as we know it. The minimum is generally called Peano's Postulates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms Plus there is a standard MBA joke about a CEO interviewing new CFOs, all of which have Harvard MBAs. The CEO interviews about inventory accounting theory, tax laws, etc. and then asks "how much is 1+1?" and when the interviewees say "2" the CEO says "thank you very much" over and over until one bright MBA responds with "what do you want it to equal?" _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
