The marriage of "I think it's true" with proof by initution
and proof by induction is a tres powerful theoretical tool.
But then again, so are most memebers of this list. BTW: With
the former, one can prove almost anything. With the latter,
you'd be lucky to get out of bed by 3:00pm for a quick cuppa
B4 getting to your last class.
