"Occasionally, one individual may come up with a "proof," and another with a "counterexample." Since a valid proof and counterexample cannot peacefully coexist, either the proof has some logical or mathematical flaw, or the counterexample does not faithfully represent the conditions involved, or perhaps both. This is another reason why it is so important to have good command of the underlying logic."
