If you take it far enough, it becomes reducto ad absurdum, but what is the practical breakpoint of omnipotence?

Omnipotence is unprovable, because you're trying to prove an infinite value.

To an aborigini, a gun is a magic weapon. Point it at an opponent, squeeze a lever and that opponent dies. Propellents, and ballistics and all of that aren't a knowable factor to them.

And thanks for correction Wolf.
