So you can't explain yourself?

Since  you  do not provide any evidence or reasoning
behind your statements I should say that  your  eyes
are closed altogether.

Did  you  read  that?  The top three answers explain
why it is not a tautology, and I might add that math
gives  us new positive knowledge generally expressed
in the form of refutable statements.  Only refutable
statements  can  be  proven  true or false, and math
does it all the time.

And I meant  statements  about  the  material  world
(physics)  rather than about abstractions (mathemat-
ics).

Why do you think so?

No, because I don't regard you as a teacher.
