IT DOES NOT MEAN YOUR MISCONCEPTION OF "COMPLETE" YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THAT AN INFINITE EXECUTION CANNOT BE COMPLETE. YOU AND OTHERS ALWAYS USE THE TERM "COMPLETE" INCORRECTLY THIS IS NO ORDINARY MISTAKE IT IS A STUPID MISTAKE. -- Copyright 2024 Olcott "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
