I have only interest is why you think that the only way to prove your theory is with mind reAding powers... Quite funny really...
There is no way to prove ANY theory about someone else's motivation. The best you can do is ask them, even then you may not get an honest answer.

Anyway, enough is enough... I guess all of us now have an excuse to not provide evidence of any theory from now on... Thanks for that.
Only if the theory is about someone else's motivation. If the theory was about something measurable, then no. For example, a theory that a dropped ball will fall to the ground can be tested and verified. A theory that Sydney house prices will not fall in 2011 if auction clearance rates stay around 60% can be proved at the end of the year when the house price data is released. So it depends on the nature of the theory.

Lol
Your theory as i quoted did not use the word motivate once... You added it in later as an excuse in a follow up post.. Remember :laugh:
In fact, you initially were happy to cite strindbergs data as evidence... That suddenly became unsuitable for your theory... Lol
You still dont seem to understand that governments have published reasons for their deciosions... Motivation is publically documented... Psycic powers are not required despite all your odd claims that they are..
A theory does not need to use the word 'motivation' for it to be about motivation. For example...
"I have a theory that you drank water because you were thirsty"
This sentence does not mention the word 'motivate' but the theory is clearly about your motivation to drink water.
In fact, motivation has been mentioned many times during this discussion.
Are you now claiming that you didn't know the discussion was about motivation?
The simple fact is that you now claim that the government did not allow negative gearing on IP's for any sound and demonstrated reason, but rather for some other motive which you think is hidden in their brains alone...
I think it is a weak and poor excuse to avoid having to provide data... But it is all you havee..

I believe different governments and different people within each government have their own reasons (many reasons) for allowing negative gearing. My theory addresses one possible reason, however as I mentioned at the beginning, my theory is impossible to prove, so I have no interest in attempting to prove it. Since you are a lot more interested in my theory than I am, and you are convinced it is false, and you supposedly know of 'numerous methods' by which it can be disproved, perhaps you would like to disprove it?

Well, perhaps you should concentrate on proving those then, rather then chasing after me for four days demanding I prove a theory that I repeatedly explained I have no interest in proving because it is impossible to do so.

Well since you are wrong on your claims it was worth exposing how desperate you were to avoid showing evidence to support your theory... :laugh:

You have not proved my theory is wrong, and I have not proved it is right. It remains a theory. And it was completely pointless wasting four days 'exposing' the fact that I didn't want to show evidence, because I made it quite clear four days ago myself that I didn't want to show evidence, as evidence doesn't exist.
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
