I think this article proves that it's time for another discussion about slipping standards here on HN. She writes:
I am an expert on NOT avoiding mathematicians: in fact, I’ve married three of them and dated x number of them.
Everyone knows that any variable labeled x is allowed to take on fractional values. Since she's probably not an actual serial killer[1], we can only assume she meant to say that the set of mathematicians dated can be indexed by a section of positive integers. In other words, she's dated n mathematicians.
How this advice got past peer review is beyond me.
[1] for one thing, many of them are too sane to date mathematicians.
