Why is it a valid distinction to make?

For example, does this distinction affect the assessed truthfulness of a signal?

Does process affect the artfulness of a painting? “My five year old could draw that?”



It makes sense to do so in the same way that it’s useful to distinguish quantum mechanics from classical mechanics, even if they make the same predictions sometimes.


A proposition of any kind of mechanics is what can be true or false. The calculations are not what makes up the truth of a proposition, as you’ve pointed out.
