pretext Expand "proof" to PROOF-LIKE

With argument, justification, and maybe more. Suggestions?

Something equivalent to a faulty-proof would be useful. Fallacious?

rationale, explanation*, grounds

A false proof is a fallacy?

*ORCCA renames solution to explanation because of the special meaning for "solution" in a basic algebra context. But that should not matter.

I recommend avoiding "fallacy" for incorrect-proof.. since a fallacy is often a more formal thing like "affirming the consequent" or "proof by loudest voice" or similar, as opposed to an incorrect proof of a true statement.

On one hand, for the sake of consistent design of PreTeXt, I think we're doomed to need a dozen different tags to cover every possible nuance of a proofy piece of content.

On the other hand, to quote Rob, elements are expensive, and attributes are cheap. So it's a shame that there isn't a single element to describe "proof-likes" that could be fine-tuned by an attribute to cover each flavor.
