- AlecSchueler 3y agoI just think it's sad because a lot of people are put off by this kind of snobbery in mathematics. Joking or ironic or not it can still be harmful.
- tekla 3y agoI find it harmful that you think that this is snobbery.
- bjornasm 3y agoYeah agree. The world becomes a bleak place if people are not allowed to joke around a bit, especially harmless jokes as those.
- tveita 3y agoIf it was said about e.g. accounting it could come off as snobbery. Everyone knows that being a poet requires imagination, so no one is going to see it as anything other than a light-hearted joke.
