    Yea, I have a difficult time with .333333 too lol... I have a problem with lots of numbers/fractions...

    Given that, I don't know if I could or would be comfortable with any definition I can think of.... lol..

    You mean progress in that way lol...

    Indeed.

    Of course 2+2 is 4.... No progress there.

    Pi, like God, is eternal.

    2+2=4 may or may not be progress, depending on whether or not you are into orgies.
