When you say "not necessarily achievable", you you saying that the burden of proof lies on me to show that, for a given task, some system exists that does not break?

Because I have done that. I believe the burden of proof is on you to show that some logically possible task exists for which no system can be devised that does not break.

meh?

I gave the example of the 1st Ed D&D 'head hack' execution. That's a System that, I think, fails to satisfactorily resolve a logical in-game event.

So it's a bad System. Does that mean I have to prove that a task exists for which no System can cope? I don't think so. But show me a sufficiently complex system and I can probably come up with a scenario where it breaks.

...depending on the definition of 'break'. :)
