Whenever I invite people into discussing a topic without throwing out some really provocative viewpoints to begin with, the thread ends up being a meta discussion about discussing the topic instead of discussing the topic.
Frustrating as hell.

Here are some provocative viewpoints that are nearly on topic:
0.999999999.......... < 1
If the digits on the LHS go on forever, is the above statement true or false?
Speaking of provocative, is Godel's Theorem provocative? I only wish I understood it enough to say yes or no.
Which of his theorems? One of the two incompleteness theorems, or one of his other works?
Godel's incompleteness theorem(s) is/are known as Godel's Theorem.
Well, I find the first more provocative than the second, which is why I ask. Also, Godel had other theorems in the areas of computability and recursive functions. But, most provocative of all was his work proving the undisprovability of the axiom of choice, which opened up thousands of new proofs never before possible.
