I checked a few things on the web and found two accounts that disagree with each other and with my friend's interpretation. One says that it's been proven that C <> 1 and another that it's been proven that we CAN'T prove whether C = 1 or not. I'm a little busy right now and don't have the time to look into it, but I am intruiged. If I can get some time over the next few months, I'll check it out.
