what proof?

Proof? You want proof? I'm right, and you're wrong, and I can provide the
mathematical proof.

It is obvious, even to you, that the opposite of right is left and that three
lefts
make a right or 3l = r.

It is also clear that wrong is the opposite of right so -w = r.

So this would make 3l = r = -w which means that 3l = -w. Now, since
left is the opposite of right (-l = r) this would mean l = r = -w, which
playing with the math gives me l = -r = w and so left is the same as
wrong (yes, I could have done this in fewer steps, but I didn't feel
like doing that).

Now, since l = w and 3l = r that would make 3w = r. This means
that three wrongs make a right. Of course, since 3 is an odd number,
this situation doesn't work out with any values for r and w except 0
which would mean that r = 0 and w = 0 and l = 0, although the last
one I don't really care about.

This means that right and wrong are mathematically identical and so
classifying things as right or wrong is pointless because both of them are
the same. And since there is no difference between right and wrong, that
would make ME always right and YOU always wrong and isn't that the
thing that rrap is all about?

2 + 2 = 8 if you assign sufficiently large values to 2.
