> I also realized the difference between a physicist and a mathematician: a physicist is openly willing to compromise their principles and stretch the truth for the sake of press, while a mathematician sticks to the truth and as a result nobody cares.

Not to mention that one of the most famous sayings about stretching the truth comes from mathematics: "Lies, damned lies, and statistics"
