Would you explain this part of your comment?
I write this as a mathematician (math PhD, publications, yadda yadda), and what I wrote above is my attempt to translate Vladimir Arnold's article[1] into laymen terms (my non-math friends found that article inaccessible).
Vladimir Arnold is the mathematician (immense contributions to the field that spawned entire branches of math).
All the statements concerning math concepts (numbers, card rules, etc) above are correct - and easily falsifiable; so "not even wrong" hardly applies there (unless you meant it to say that it's not wrong, which has a different meaning).
