My priorities are indeed different. Apologies for the inflammatory language. My remark WRT constructive proofs is more an observation I've made that most proofs which deal with non-finite values seem to be non-constructive. Not necessarily as a hard and fast rule, the two just don't seem to roll well together. Could be sampling bias, but poking and prodding with mathematician friends more or less confirmed it. Not well read enough to have more interesting things to say on it.
