Lol, it is not gaslighting/manipulation. Are you really so unable to resist the temptation to believe an idea that you must choose not to even consider it? Proof by contradiction[1] has quite a number of important results. We shouldn't denigrate that machinery. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_contradiction """
G. H. Hardy described proof by contradiction as "one of a mathematician's finest weapons", saying "It is a far finer gambit than any chess gambit: a chess player may offer the sacrifice of a pawn or even a piece, but a mathematician offers the game."
