„In its weakest form it says that we should not dispute propositions unless they can be shown by precise logic and/or mathematics to have observable consequences. In its strongest form it demands a list of observable consequences and a formal demonstration that they are indeed consequences of the proposition claimed.“

„Inde schweschde Form sachdse, dassma Sedz nedd bschdraide solld, woma nedd midd bredzisa Logik unn/odda Madhamadigg zaische konn, dasse b'obachdbare Konsequenze hawwen. Inde schdergschde Form valongdse ä Lisdchd vun b'obachdbare Konsequenze unnen formale Nochwees, dasse tatseschlisch Konsequenze vunde b'haubdede Sedz sinn.“
