"Paul Ernest" is a contributor to the social constructivist (see social constructivism) philosophy of mathematics. Ernest's philosophical sources are the later works of Ludwig Wittgenstein and the fallibilism of Imre Lakatos. This social constructivist philosophy claims that both the theorems and truths of mathematics, and the objects of mathematics, are cultural products created by humans. Furthermore the theorems and truths of mathematics always remain wikt:corrigible/corrigible, wikt:revisible/revisible, and indeed fallible — in principle at least. This does not mean that mathematical knowledge is flawed or at risk. However, the claim is that the belief that mathematical knowledge is infallible cannot be demonstrated, it is an article of faith, even if the warrants for mathematical knowledge are the strongest warrants available to humankind for any knowledge claims. Ernest illustrates this position in his discussion of the issue of whether mathematics is discovered or invented. His fullest exposition of the social constructivist position is given in the 1998 reference, although an earlier version is given in the 1991 reference. Ernest's version of social constructivism is controversial and has led to strong criticism. The principal criticism is that mathematical theorems are truths and truths by their nature are infallible.

I thought Jay did a great job. Of course he made some mistakes, but what was impressive was that he made the correct reads and got the ball to the right guys. Of course it helped that we were never in the position that we had to throw the ball, we threw it only by desire.

It's not going to be that big an adjustment for us, ... We're in a tough league now and we've scheduled games in the past against some of the others that will be in our new district. They (Arkansas Activities Association) wanted to correct some of the disparity in numbers in Class 2A-and they did that. But now the disparity is in Class 3A and we're still a part of it.

Hampton saw some weaknesses we had and exploited them for a while. We knew we had weaknesses and they found them. They hurt us running the ball up the middle, but we got that corrected and later in the game we held them pretty good.

It picked us up some. It was a real good win for us.

We got a lot of the guys into the action and they all produced. I'm pleased at where our offense is heading into the season.

We didn't throw a lot, but when we did, we were successful.

In years past people would put eight or nine in the box to shut down our running game. But we spent a lot of time and money during the off-season making sure that doesn't happen again. We traveled around quite a bit trying to learn something about spreading the field on our opponents and I think it all paid off for us Friday.
