They are *both* very hard problems. Drawing the consequences is 
traditionally thought of as the problem of theorem-proving, and there 
is a lot known about it (and how hard it indeed is).  But just 
writing the axioms is also a very hard problem, as some of the 
greatest minds of the last century have found; and this, which Jon is 
wrong to dismiss quite so casually, is the main problem which the SUO 
has to address.
