We point out that Dijkstra's same argument can be applied to show that termination is a meaningless requirement because it can't be refuted by looking at a program for a finite length of time. The real argument in favor of fairness, which we didn't mention, is that it is a useful concept when reasoning about concurrent systems.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/another-position-paper-fairness/}, pages = {1-2}, journal = {Software Engineering Notes}, volume = {13}, number = {3}, }
