"To use plausible arguments in place of proofs, and thenceforth refer to these arguments as proofs."

"To approximate all problems to ideal cases."

Hehehehe. Guilty. It should be an approximation statement in general though.

"To use plausible arguments in place of proofs, and thenceforth refer to these arguments as proofs."

"To approximate all problems to ideal cases."

Hehehehe. Guilty. It should be an approximation statement in general though.
