The idea is ridiculous. The math men didn't overthrow the Mad Men. The Mad Men found that math is awesome, because it's a topic that your customers don't know.

The idea is ridiculous. The math men didn't overthrow the Mad Men. The Mad Men found that math is awesome, because it's a topic that your customers don't know. So they also have no way to figure out that the Mad Men don't know math either. They call the mathematicians "quants". Does that sound like respect to you? Is that how one speaks in public about one's overlord?
