Replying to a comment on:

Reasonably Good (Free verse) by Dovina

Before my birth myself flourished and will again past my pseudo death Beauty and Good demand it so for they are bastions strong as reason Easy to honor the dove hard to extol the rat Easy to admire DNA and hate uranium 238 Beautiful and Good Ugly and Bad I believe I know the difference For I live not alone by reason but by knowledge of Beauty and Good Thus I surpass the waypoints— birth and death with God who creates Beauty and Good demand it

Yes, and I shall defend that as well.

Premiss: For any possible open valve O, there is a possible closed but leaky valve L, which lets through exactly as much water as O.

Premiss: For any possible closed valve C, there is a possible open but blocked valve B, which lets through exactly as much water as C.

Therefore: The set of open valves lets through, collectively, exactly as much water as the set of closed valves.

Corollary: Closed-valvedness does not inhibit the flow of water.

Your confused because your thinking of the set of *actual* valves, and mistakenly inferring things about closed-valvedness in general.

Zodiac is a dim.
