Theorem dcfromnotnotr 1458

Description: The decidability of a proposition ps follows from a suitable instance of double negation elimination (DNE). Therefore, if we were to introduce DNE as a general principle (without the decidability condition in notnotrdc 844), then we could prove that every proposition is decidable, giving us the classical system of propositional calculus (since DNE itself is classically valid).
