Why I find Cynics and Skeptics equivalent.

My Post from the mythbuster's forum:

And I believe the cat is both alive and dead until it can be determined.

In programming terms:
Boolean determined = null;

if (proved) determined = Boolean.TRUE;

if (disproved) determined = Boolean.FALSE;

In the statement:

The programming allegory for both Cynics and Skeptics:

Boolean determined = Boolean.FALSE;

if (proved) determined = Boolean.TRUE;
