Try to think logically about this (you did learn logic at your school,
right?)

You're trying to prove the following:

"implicit toString is useless and therefore should be removed from the
language" (C)

In order to prove the conclusion (C) you must prove two premises:

minor premise (p): "implicit toString is useless"
major premise (P): "everything that is useless should be removed from
the language"

You've put much effort in (p) and I think we can assume that you've
proved it. Now, please prove (P).
