You're a fool. No theory can be proved or it wouldn't
be a theory, but a fact. Your statement is false, of
course, since this "proof" cannot be found in ALL
freshmen level calculus books.

MCGILL
Is he a fool, or is he BEING a fool? Is that the real person or is that a 
trmporary state of being? Is there a difference between what you ARE, and 
what you are being? Remember you said the truth never changes. We are 
able to be a fool or be this or be that, but does that mean we really ARE 
those things? Is he a fool or is he putting on an act, playing a role, a 
temporary state?
