| May 20, 2011 at 14:30 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | @Matthew: thanks; I can see what you're saying now. I just thought your question was more precise and more mathematical than a lot of questions which aren't made CW. | |
| May 20, 2011 at 13:33 | comment | added | Matthew Daws | @Todd: I sort of expected/hoped for a list of possible answers, no one of which would be "correct" as such-- I mean, it would be hard for me to decide which of the current answers to "accept". I thought that this made it a good candidate for CW; but I could be wrong... | |
| May 20, 2011 at 13:29 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | I don't understand why this is CW. | |

| May 20, 2011 at 10:31 | comment | added | Suvrit | actually this is a nice question; i have also sought to learn fundamental reasons as to "why the $\Delta$-inequality?" | |

| May 20, 2011 at 10:15 | comment | added | Matthew Daws | Ah! Now that is quite embarrassing... Yes, surely I want Hausdorff, and surely this does need some form of Triangle Inequality. Actually, maybe that alone answers my question! Hmm; I'll leave this for a bit, but I might delete if I don't get an answer soon. | |
