Hey mathstuf, live up to your name and look at the "enough" part of the proposition (shall we call it theorem, conjecture?).

The mathematical "enough" is a very, very abstract thing. "For a sufficiently large N" works for math, but it does not work for the real world.

"Given enough effort we can solve world hunger, ensure world peace and prosperity for all".

So, yeah, that doesn't prove anything, methinks.
