Godel's Incompleteness Theorm, the behavior of light, are due examples
of how useful sets may include paradox. And why be so formal, anyway;
trial and error, hunches, passion I suppose are axioms somewhere?
Besides, look at all those good search engines that came out of a totally
illogical set of statements!

Yeah, like "ching-ching" -sixteen million hits in about 500 milliseconds!

That would be really cool.  But I'd have to start with "Google for  
Dummies" because I liked, but didn't thunk, this
(which I thought was pretty cool):

Agreed, context is everything, everywhere, all the time.
Maybe my queries need to be in the Advance Search page,
include whole paragraphs, use the "not operator".  I'm getting it!  Thanks!

Sadly, maybe true. I have found some since, however.  After venting here!

Thanks again!
