That sounds like you are trying to win by poisoning the well. Whether an idea has a practical use or not does not make it any less an idea. And since you wonder: I could include all philosophy or things like art or literature, too.
No, I'm just trying figure out what your point is and how tautological truisms fit into it.
Yeah, they might draw straws, or pick names out of a hat, before take off. And listen to weather reports, to see if they're grounded by volcanic ash.
Or maybe the leader just slows up slightly when he gets tired, so the bird next to it temporarily becomes the leader, and that this kind of shuffling happens all the time, and that's why birds are almost never flying in a perfect V, but thanks for sharing the reductio ad absurdum argument, it was a fun read.

Just think 100 pages and where are we? deadlocked over the possibility of some all knowing, all seeing entity such as God and the big bang theory. Hmmm I guess I'll find out who's right when I cash in my chips. If it is a god I guess I'll say sorry but until then I believe more in the big Bang theory...makes more sense to me!

Ugh, why is it apparently OK to preface any scientific proof with "God decided that..." to attempt turn an argument upside down in such a poor way? Such a crude way to not have to think for yourself.
