I apologize. I went back and reread from the top and I see my error.

My mobile Lemmy client indicates replies with cycling colors, and I had the misunderstanding that your objection was to the axioms presented in Principia Mathematica. But your reply was fair in the context of the axioms you were actually replying to.

I've had this asserted before, but I'm not sure it lives up to the mathematical rigor of our conversation to this point. I recommend substantially more investigation. 😉
