> Your argument had nothing to do with the difference between principles rooted in physics vs mathematics. True. Where did mathematics come in? Math does not abstract away the fundamentals in the way that I am talking about. Whether you use messy coordinates or elegant tensors to describe a fundamental property, you are still working with the fundamental property. Also perhaps the only way to get through to someone like you is to point out I have a doctorate in electrical engineering, and teach in a EECS department, working with both engineers and programmers daily and even helping to design the curricula (fyi, a person who specializes in databases is a real thing, we have no less than 4 grad-level classes on them, and there are no CS classes entirely on "variables" analogous to classes on statics). I have spent literally decades pondering the mindset differences between them. You should give up trying to argue me down because you won't get there by trying to twist my own words against me. Oh and in EE we generally don't use statics. Pretty much ever. Though I did teach a dynamics class that included some one time. By the way that tongue-in-cheek reference to statics was an failed attempt at using self-deprecation to tiptoe around your oversized ego. Nice job weaponizing it.
