i still dont know why i have to and i dont know what you mean by it. but in my original statement i meant for the answer you would supply would have to be as blunt and precise as 1+1=2. you take a molten rock and then find another molten rock, move it to that rock and you have a pile of two rocks. theres no question to how the pile was formed and theres no question as to how the rocks were formed. that is how it happened.
however you cannot see 2 rocks and automatically know exactly how they got together in a pile without doing it yourself. any assumptions you made would be a general guess and you wouldnt have any support of it.
which inevitably means nothing can be entirely proven.
I havn't investigated 1+1=2, but I suspect it is a fundimental assumption on mathematics, that hasn't been proven. I may be wrong.
The other part - You have wandered into geo-territory! What are you talking about? Make it clearer, and I'll try to respond.

The question remains: In what areas are their competences, and in what areas are their incompetences? Is their input into the E/C debate coming from their areas of competences or their areas of their incompetences?
