| Jul 9, 2012 at 14:25 | comment | added | Joel David Hamkins | I don't believe my answer misses the point; it simply addresses the question some had expressed about a connection between the questions. But now I shall say more: in my answer to the other question (mathoverflow.net/questions/15444/…), I explain my perspective that the essence of these questions is about giving very short descriptions of very large numbers. And those remarks seem to apply equally here... | |
