If you mean that mathematicians will become comfortable with taking
truth values of propositions as *determinated* when they manage to derive them
using principles which are not self-evident (in contast to stating only
that they are entailed by those principles), then I truly hope that you are
wrong. For me at least, this will not be MATHEMATICS any more.

  I apologized for my old-fasioned, conservative view about what Mathematics
is, and what distinguishes it from all other sciences.
