I don't see how this relates to the original argument. It doesn't help explain you can or can't say why something isn't true. And anyway, it wouldn't be easier to respond "why is the color of the programmer's shirt important ...?" than its negation.
I think that's kindof the point... it's easier to ask the affirmative form then the negative, ie it's easier to prove then disprove.
Anyways, this meta-discussion has gone long enough anyways. I'm having too hard a time following it. Can't we go back arc and exploratory languages, please? :)
