The problem is to me that you're imprecise in your claims, which is OK (edit: changed my mind, it's not ok because it's too close to ex falso (sequitur) quodlibet), and won't admit you're wrong when you are, which is bothering people. You say "Prolog isn't based on first-order logic or anything", I point out you're wrong via wikipedia, you start fudging. You could have said it's not proper in your view because of the resolution strategy (depth first, typically) and allowing (red) cuts and we'd be with you all the way. You say "You seem to have had no trouble understanding what I wrote", ducking the point made, viz. "That is not a First Order Logic statement", and that's the crucial point (and I'd agree, quantification over predicates isn't 1st order any more). You evidently know your stuff but equally so do others, why are you burning bridges instead of trying to work out why there's disagreement. You could say prolog just isn't that impressive and there's better stuff available now, so in your view you don't consider prolog worthy any more, but you start denying it's a logic language at all. |
