Val consistently tries to sneak in qualifiers like "entire" when his arguments fall apart. He appears entirely ignorant of such concepts as a partial function or a many-sorted algebra. These concepts Val knows nothing about he dismisses as not part of "mathematics"; which for him consists of little more than the high-school concepts he consistently appeals to. Finally, Val dismisses those having superior knowledge as "impostors".

You should know that "vc" was exposed some months ago as a vociferous ignoramus while being annihilated in discussion regarding probability theory as a generalization of logic.
