Whoa!!!!!  I never said *any* of that!  I have not made a single
comment on proving correctness of programs --- I don't know much
about that --- I have only made comments on computability and
the halting problem.

Was the posting you're citing really done under my name?  I haven't
seen it at all (and *certainly* didn't write it).  It's either
(1) a forgery or (2) you've gotten an attribute mixed up.
