In general, because they are either (a) not well-formed, or (b) you are asking me to prove a negative. Getting people to believe that you can't square a circle[1] is very hard, and when I was one of the postmasters at MIT, we'd get kooks every so often saying that they had a proof that they could square the circle, but everyone was being unfair and ignoring them, and could we please forward this to the head of MIT's math department with their amazing discovery. We learned a long time ago that it's not worth trying to argue with kooks like that. It's like trying teaching a pig to sing. It frustrates you, and it annoys the pig. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaring_the_circle If you give me a specific approach, I can tell you why it won't work, or why it won't be accepted by the kernel maintainers (for example, because it involves pouring far too much complexity into the kernel). But for me to list all possible approaches and tell you why each one is not going to work? You'll have to pay me before I'm willing to invest that kind of time.
