# yeah but philosophy also says
you can't prove that anything but yourself exists 'i think therefore i am'
so lets leave that there.

# It also gave me the ability to argue about almost anything,
and for that I am grateful.

# As a case in point,
I have spent several hours of my life arguing about the differences between pies and tarts.

# "How can you arbitrate what is a pie and what is a tart?"
"The concepts are only valid to us based on their nomative labels and words are not objective in any sense. If another culture inverts the words that does not make them wrong, nor would it if one man were to invert the words. The very concepts themselves are only subjective networks in which people can share the same ideas and concepts."

# Obviously we weren't hoping to place any kind of objective value on the labels 'pie' and 'tart'.
We were more interested in the every day usage.
I believe our conclusion was that if it is fully pastry topped it is a pie, otherwise, it is a tart.
In the special case of lattice tops, if the lattice covers more than, say, 50% of the area of the surface, it's a pie.

# Hopefully, that can simply be defined as a tart with an egg based filling.

# pies have a lid
tarts don't, but may have a lattice effect

# There were counter examples whizzing all over the place.
The lattice caused particular problems.
