Gentlemen,
That's getting really dangerous for you:
Dangerous? The only danger is of wasting ones time as your intellectual
arsenal is so deficient that you may never see that the point under
discussion was resolved at the time Randy posted yesterday.
in order to prove one wrong point (that JavaScript Array is
not jagged)
Not only is that not one wrong point, it is a point that is so not wrong
that it can be proven logically. The only potential vulnerability of
that proof being someone being able to demonstrate a structure
exhibiting 'jaggedness' created with a single javascript Array instance
(and that looks like an imposibility).
you had to intriduce a bounch of new wrong points
State one. (Or if it is a bunch state all of them, though attempting to
state one will be sufficient to show that no such 'new wrong points'
have been introduced.).
In fact the ability to assert that:-
IF ('jagged') THEN (NOT a single Array object)
- is a truth in javascript is all that is necessary to prove that the
term 'jagged' cannot characterise a javascript Array (only, possibly,
some javascript structures).
plus you had to disavow a lot of you previous statements.
State one. (Or if it is a lot state all of them, though attempting to
state one will be sufficient to show that no previous statements have
been disavowed).
It's dangerous because it's a sure way to transform a discussion
into a casuistical match where the only task is to negate the
very last statement of your opponent without relation
with the topic and the previous statements.
Your poor attempt to apply my "own thesis" to C++ and Java arrays
demonstrated the only likely source of flawed reasoning in this
discussion.
In your attempt to dismiss VK you even stated that JavaScript
Array is a whole separate data structure having much more
difference from other structures (like generic Object) than
simply length autocounter.
Where? If that has been said you should be able to quote the specific
statment.
At any other time it would fill my heart with joy, but not
now because I see that it is not an expression of the real
believe I'm seeking from you but a momentary side-effect of your
excitement
More likely you perception of such a statement where none exists is
merely an artefact of your wider misconceptions, incomprehension of
English and general irrationality.
Questions to be answered:
1) What is multi-dimensional array
Something that does not exist in javascript, but can be emulation with a
structure (most directly with an array of arrays).
Something that does not exist in javascript, but can be emulation with a
structure (most directly with an array of arrays).
3) What is safe and unsafe array and their relations with
m-d and j arrays
Irrelevant notions that popped out of your mind for no apparent reason,
and with no real purpose.
4) What is the nature of JavaScript Array
Whatever else the nature of a javascript Array is it is certainly not in
its nature to be 'jagged'.
I know the exact answers on each and every of these
questions after one year of careful studies.
LOL. When you announced last week that one month of studying Mozilla
browsers had taken you from a position of (presumably) not knowing
whether it supports the document.styleSheets collection to concluding
that it does not you made it obvious that for you study actually
increases the falseness of your beliefs. If a month's application of
your perverse mental processes can do that I hate to imagine how wrong
you could be after a year.
It should be obvious that you cannot be the only person studying this
subject and so when you are the _only_ person studying the subject who
ends up believing what your believe about it (and you cannot convince
anyone with any familiarity with the subject that you are correct) it
should be equally obvious that your you are applying a flawed process to
your studies.
I still want to give each question not by my stupid mouth but
by some *reputable* *printed* source.
Very few sources of information about javascript are both reputable and
printed.
It will take some time (within a week I guess) as I'm
mostly on my JSONet project at my spare time.
I won't be holding my breath. So far whenever you have promised that you
would post some response at a more distant future date you have not done
so (and I was looking forward to you attempting to defend your
misrepresentation of Ockham's razor, but it has not materialised yet).
But I feel it is necessary to move out the discussion out
of the personal opinions into a discussion over some
publically established categories.
The only unsustainable personal opinions being post to this thread have
been posted by you, so if you want to keep the discussion within the
area of reasoned discussion that is entirely at your discretion (though
potentially not within your power).
You should remember that we are on Usenet here. If I were posting what
was perceived as irrational nonsense there would be people posting
follow-ups telling me so. That doesn't appear to be happening, so what
is the best explanation for that?
I guess it will be more productive.
What I have seen of your "JSONet project" so far falls into the category
of "bizarre and obtuse" so no, it probably won't be more productive
(unless you would otherwise spend the time 'studying'). On the other
hand it probably won't be less productive for you either.
