"The fact that a simple algebraic equation is solvable has nothing to do with this issue."

It is a psychological point. When a person (or group) doubts a solution, they are not motivated to find one. For every problem posed there is, or there is not--a solution. If you believe there is not, then it will not help that there actually is. Additionally--how one defines the problem implicates the solution.

This started with my "happy-go-lucky" aside that the world "needs to contain it (uranium), I think." My belief in a solution to this (and other) maladies is hardly indicative of Pollyannaish optimism.
