In order to disprove that
Girls = Evil
it is necessary only to show that
money is not the root of all evil.
Since we know that there are many powers of evil in the world, and money is the root of all evil, then money must be the root for all powers of evil. Because evil has many powers, we can define it as a polynomial that has money as its root.
Evil = AnXn + An-1Xn-1 + … + A1X + A0
where X = money is a root of the polynomial Evil. We would normally have to assume that X = money is a root, and then show that this is also a root for the polynomial with n+1 instead of n, but we already know that money is the root for all evil, so this is an unnecessary step. Thus, regardless of the values of the coefficients,
An-i
evil would always be zero. But we know that this is not the case, and therefore money cannot be the root of all evil. This implies that
Girls = (Money)2
That just makes them pretty damn valuable.
