yeah weak refers to a specific type of incompleteness, while you are just positing incompleteness itself
I prefer to use 'weak' in a common sense of the word - instead of as jargon.
Yes - scientific terminology has its place. Must be.
But - the fact that 'a tablebase' happened to include en passant (but not castling) does not contradict what I'm saying.
Which is that tablebases that don't include both en passant and castling as they try to progress from 7 pieces to 8 pieces and 9 and 10 and so on are Weak.
The fact they 'didn't bother' is no excuse.
Castling and en passant are just too basic to the game to be excluded or 'not bothered with'.
----------------------------------------
Yes - you each know more math than the math than I have both forgotten and remember but you're not going to convince me that such 'skipping' table bases are Strong.
They're not Strong. So they're weak.
We could waste a lot of energy. But that's unlikely.
----------------------------
I think you both understand the logic I'm getting at.
But I'm not the T-person nor the O-person.
Which means I don't need for such points to be my 'life's work' nor to personalize it.
You don't either. Right?
That's a question. A friendly one.
But no need to answer. Questions aren't thunder.
And the disagreement is minor - that's if it exists at all.
