I just want to repeat bdg's appreciation for the people who are explaining the actual theory, which is the interesting part. Funky results from arbitrary arithmetic is just a step short of numerology and while it's nifty in a stage magic kind of way, it's a little sad overall when you have no idea why that's the way it is.
- skeptical 15y agoDon't underestimate stupidity. Only a tiny percentage of people want to know why that's the way it is. The big majority will call you names if you attempt to discuss the maths. Stupidity is more popular and more appealing than reason. Want to be popular, be stupid and appeal to the stupid.
