dude. Did you just go from pontificating about the futility of proving false negatives to, "...and its a cell block 4 thing, you wouldn't understand."

Actually, yeah. I did.
The validity of first hand experience doesn't logically correlate to 'proving a negative' in any way.

It is entirely possible for an outlook based on direct, topically focused experience to be more valid than those based on abstract theorems... And it is still impossible to prove a negative.

Show me where the two join up and I'll give ya a cookie.

OH good! I LOVE cookies. Ummmm...both create their own separate arguments instead of dealing with the real topic?

Just kidding. Yes you can't prove a false negative. Yes, high IQ inmates kick ass at spaids, poker and chess (as do medicore IQ inmates as well).

The idea that the DP is a deterrent still hasn't any evidence to back it up.
