Feb 16, 2010 at 3:38 comment added Anton Geraschenko @François: I saw your answer just after I posted my comment, and I'm really impressed by it. I'm happy to leave the question open if we add the [lo.logic] tag. I'd still prefer that the question were written as a question about logic ... as is it's pretty philosophical.
Feb 16, 2010 at 3:29 comment added François G. Dorais @fpqc: I did not know that. Thanks!
Feb 16, 2010 at 3:26 comment added Harry Gindi @FGD: You know that your answer can still be voted up if the question is closed. The only thing closing a question does is make it so other people can't answer it.
Feb 16, 2010 at 3:20 comment added François G. Dorais @Anton: Considering I just gave a reasonable answer. Would you consider not closing if I promise not to discuss the matter further?
Feb 16, 2010 at 3:16 comment added Anton Geraschenko I think this is way too philosophical and discussion-y to work on MO. Though you have made an admirable attempt at putting it in the form of a question, I don't think it's a question that "has an answer" (i.e. it's really bait for a discussion). I'd vote to close it as "not a real question", but I don't want to close unilaterally. If it acquires two or three other votes to close, then I'll vote to close too.
