Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II, and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple remains committed to creating the best personal computers in the world, and its hardware and software products are widely regarded as being the most innovative in the industry.

He never accused you of saying anything like "Bjarne is the most important person in the computer world." He just said that he disagreed with your decision that he's "the most important person in the programming world," and gave his reasoning.
His reasoning did not challenge my statement, his reasoning could've challenged the statement of "Bjarne is the most important person in the computer world".

The computer world includes and not exclusively only: Software: Games, Operating Systems, Language design and what not. Language design, again can be broken down into sub categories.

I do not think it's possible to compare Steve jobs with Bjarne or the Xerox team.
All of them are important in their particular field.


FotoPlasma, his reasoning does not attack my statement.
My statement, I when I stated I assigned it as true.
When he disagreed to my statement he did not provide any adequate proof to change my statement to false. But his reasoning could have provided proof to challenge, in my opinion, the statement, "Bjarne is the most imprtant person in the computer world". If i stated that statement rob's reasoning would make that statement false, thus making rob correct. But the problem is that i have not stated that and he has not challenge my statement.

When i say challenge it means when you try to change the current statement value (FALSE or TRUE) by taking into account of the statement you presented.

here is how it would look like in C


PHP Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0
typedef unsigned char    boolean//1 byte on my system.
int main(int argcchar *argv[])
{
    
boolean my_statement;
    
boolean rob_statement;
    
//the statement
    
my_statement TRUE;

    if(
rob_statement == TRUE)
        
my_statement FALSE;
    else if(
rob_statement == FALSE)
        
my_statement TRUE;
    else
        
my_statement my_statement;
    
printf("my statement = %d (%d = true, %d = false)\n"my_statementTRUEFALSE);

until you directly dispute the statement, the statement doesnt change. Rob didn't dispute my statement.
