I was going through Vellemen's 'How to prove it', and I got lost on one bit.
Say if you're proving by contradiction, and you assume the goal to be false, then how can you be sure that it's that exact assumption that created the contradiction, and not all the other assumptions you made
I didn't really understand the explanation in the book.
