Bob,

This is one of those "you're wrong and I'm right" arguments that can go on
forever and forever and forever, so I'll just have to introduce the
mathematical proof.

It is obvious, even to KR2Q, 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 CQ-CONTEST is all about?
