Think of it this way: Anyone can invent a new song, and no matter how derivative or lacking in artistic merit, they can still claim to have composed a new piece of music.(La-la-la-laaa. There, I just did it! Short but sweet.) But you cannot just "invent" a new proof to the Pythagorean theorem. Any proof that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 will have to clear the hurdle of being demonstrably "true." |
