AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the validity of defining g(y) as h(y)^n in relation to a specific statement. Participants argue that the logic supporting this definition lacks justification and is insufficiently detailed. The absence of a quantifier on h(y) is highlighted as a critical omission. It is emphasized that while defining g(y) in this manner makes the statement trivially true, it does not constitute a proof. Overall, the consensus is that the assertion does not validate the statement due to its reliance on definitions rather than logical reasoning.

What to say about this?

Is the logic used in the solution supports the statement?

No. You just asserted that ##g(y)=h(y)^n## with no justification.
 
There is quite a bit of information missing. E.g., there is no quantifier on ##h(y)## in the initial statement.

If you define ##g(y)## as ##h(y)^n##, then of course it's true, but there's also nothing to prove; it's all definitions.
