comment Integral solution for $|x | + | y | + | z | = 10$
@SeyhmusGüngören What does convolution mean in this context? (I'm new to this concept.)

I see. I don't think I understand but I'll nod.

Okay that's pretty interesting argument. But why doesn't it work the other way around? -- Pretend that I'm asserting "There exists an x∈S such that P(x) doesn't hold." How could you declare me to be a liar? You would have to produce an element of the set (S=∅, in this case) that does have the property P(x). Since S is the empty set, you can't convince me that there is an x such that P(x) holds, therefore my assertion is true. ... I'm easily getting lost in logic.

Okay... but you can also argue the other way around: if ∀x∈S(R(x)) is true, then all x∈S must have R(x) true. Since there is no such x for empty set S, the statement ∀x∈S(R(x)) is false. ... What happened?

@JoeL, I don't think stackexchange has CW anymore. I was unable to locate the checkbox for CW. I wanted to make it CW at first.

Wow, that is a very nice argument. Thanks!
