| Dec 31, 2015 at 5:01 | comment | added | LightCC | That doesn't look right, based on the Wikipedia page, it appears to be the other way around - you show that when the proposition is false, it creates a contradiction, which implies it must be true. My question is what if the definition of the proposition is incoherent/contradictory, in and of itself - like 2+2=5, or better yet, 2+2=purple. | |
