Proof

Courts prove things: but the next court can find errors in the proof.
Tautologies prove things: but only if the axioms are true, the logic perfect ... the whole system capable of truth.
Science knows better than to prove things; science disproves things:

That still doesn't span whether there's such a(n abstract) thing as truth, or whether humans (or any other sentience) qualifies for it.

I posted other comments on "proof" at IonaArc in 2005, in December as well as February, and in 2009 gathered some of my Thinking Tool modules from the deposed Knatz.com to a separate pk blog: pkTools, also at blogspot.com: the latter in the class of Reason.
