that isn’t proof by contradiction, that’s plain old proof of negation. proof of negation is Neg : (P → False) → ¬P, proof by contradiction is PBC : (¬P → False) → P. a subtle yet crucial distinction
Ah, right. It's been long enough that I've forgotten what the words mean, though I think with my ninja edit, PBC is actually still constructively valid as a method to prove a negation?
