Re: JSH: Math journals do not just die

If p mod 3 is not random, then what are the rules?

What rules beyond 50% probability can you give?

if p mod 3 is 1 then (p+1) mod 3 is more likely to be 2 than 1.
if p mod 3 is 2 then (p+1) mod 3 is more likely to be 1 than 2.


But why?

And the group should remember this thread is about math journals not
just dying.

I had a paper published in a peer reviewed mathematical journal.

The sci.math newsgroup erupted in fury when they found out.

Some of them emailed against my paper, the journal editors yanked it, a
few months later the journal just shut down.

Totalitarian control.

People do not need it if they have the truth.

If mathematicians really relied on mathematical proof, you would not
have that story.

But what if they just lie claiming they rely on proof?

What can you do about it?

I don't think there is much at all you can do about it, any more than
you can do anything about the war in Iraq, or other areas where
powerful people don't give a damn what you think.

But you gave them that power, so you bear the consequences, as well as
your children.

You are not free, no matter how often you claim to be, against all
evidence.

You don't even know what you think you know about basic things.
