Why don't you actually read my original proof. I swear to you that I'm unable to express myself any more clearer than I already have in my blog. I have no idea why you don't believe me.

As I keep telling you for the millionth billionth time, if you still fail to understand, then there is nothing more I can say or do. That goes for your skeptic friends over at the jref too.
