Consistency?

Edit: Funny though!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Continuity is consistency across a spectrum.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Continuity is the presence of a complete path for current flow.

[–] elegantgoat1 0 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I can buy that. My thought was that there is no spectrum here though. Just two points.

I think it's continuity, like a spectrum. At one end is thin ice, the other is thick ice. etc

[–] elegantgoat1 -1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I think that's wrong. Since they are discrete and not a continuum. Since there are only two extremes.

If his new relationships were true it would make the opposite idioms consistent with their non-opposite counterparts. Kind of the same concept as a contrapositive proposition, i.e. 'if A then B' implies 'if not A then not B'.
