It is not the case that Classical tautologies like double negation elimination have no canonical computational term, undermining the claim's scope beyond intuitionistic systems.

Reasons For
1 perspective
Reason for
?
1.
Classical tautologies have well-defined computational content via continuation-passing style and call-cc operators in typed languages.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
Lack of canonical intuitionistic proof doesn't undermine classical validity—classical and intuitionistic systems have different proof standards.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
Many classical results (excluded middle, choice) are computationally meaningful in classical type theories like cubical or observational type theory.

Reasons Against
1 perspective
Reason against
?
1.
The Curry-Howard correspondence shows classical tautologies lack direct computational witnesses that intuitionistic proofs possess.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
Double negation elimination requires excluded middle, which needs non-constructive choice principles absent from intuitionistic logic.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
If a principle has no canonical term, its truth cannot be computationally verified, limiting its scope to formal systems only.

Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
