Since we're in hair-splitting mode, I should point out that "prevents the denial of an act" is not equivalent to a "negation that something is false". Of course, logically, it comes to the same thing, but then, so does "assertion that something is true".
Of course, the idea that you could 'prevent the denial of an act' is completely wrong. The explanation "All this fancy-schmancy crypto stuff is bullshit" is pretty much universally applicable. -Bram Cohen
