Integral,
There is another beautiful side to 'if, then' that is not connected only to logical propositions, and this side belongs to creativity, imagination and self initiative motivations, internal abilities to find solutions to survive and flourish under unfamiliar situations (for example: If this is the unfamiliar situation, than we think that ... and do ...) , and more good things that are not learned in any academic institution.
What I have learned from your response, until now, is that you have no ability to use this side of 'if, then' even if your own life will be depend on it.
And the amazing (and very sad) fact that we start to discover here is that instead of unique personalities (that can take what is written in post #1 and say exactly what part of it is problematic in their opinion, and why they think it is problematic) we can see that this inability is some how a common property of persons like ex-xian, kaiser soze, chroot, aridno and you.
In short, when each one of you repeating again and again on the words 'nonsense' , shall we understand that all the sense that you have is nothing but the 'if, then' of the academic institution, and your own abilities are no longer exist?
