I mean I think it helps put things in context. It sort of feels like you’re lied to if you’re told all the good things about Euler and can grow up idolizing him

I mean I think it helps put things in context. It sort of feels like you’re lied to if you’re told all the good things about Euler and can grow up idolizing him and not know that IRL he was a piece of shit.

Only an idiot could think he knows everything about Euler as a person, just because he heard his name in a geometry class.

  Sure, but wouldn't you assume someone isn't a piece of shit unless told otherwise? Just saying, a disclaimer isn't a bad thing.

  I love how my example was actually Euclid, but everyone's just writing Euler now.
