Until the "joke" of the flat earth got way out of hand and you realise that the internet is great at everything aside from context and this is something that isn't taught. Although I remember a professor screwing with us and changing a proof on Wikipedia to catch people out one term...
- epgui 4y agoThat’s a shameful act of vandalism on the part of the professor… :(
