Who exactly are you quoting here? My comment doesn't contain that phrase.
> The guy misread a Wikipedia page
I don't know how it's possible to "misread" a wiki that's all of 500 words and has things like this:
> He made fundamental contributions to combinatorics, number theory, numerical analysis and probability theory.
> There are three prizes named after Pólya,
> Stanford University has a Polya Hall named in his honor.
Except in so far as he was temporarily blinded by arrogance.
> I'm "still" not close? Still not close ... to what?
Still not close to any semblance of a convincing rebuke.
- jodrellblank 3y agoI am not exactly quoting anyone. So now that's settled, you can't use that as a dodge to get out of responding to the point. > "I don't know how it's possible to "misread" a wiki" Great, thanks for your informative contributions. Don't forget to be offended and accuse someone of ignorance and arrogance just because you don't understand. That's useful. > "Still not close to any semblance of a convincing rebuke" His death was still so long ago that more than half the population of Earth wasn't even born at the time.
- mathisfun123 3y ago> I am not exactly quoting anyone. conventionally (but you're free to diverge of course) double quotes, like in > "beyond offended" are for quoting someone/something.
- jodrellblank 3y agoI'm being unconventional. So now that's settled, you can't use that as a dodge to get out of responding to the point.
