Why is Zeilberger so willing to give up on absolute truths?
The most reasonable answer is that he is pursuing deeper truths.
In Identities in Search of Identities, Zeilberger
advocates an examination of identities for the sake of studying
identities. Still as Herb Wilf and others have pointed out it is
possible to produce an unlimited number of identities. It is
the context, the ability to use and manipulate these identities, that
make them interesting. Why then might we think that studying
identities for their own sake may lead us down the golden path
rather than the garden path?
