That (subtly) misses my point. They mentioned min-plus algebra and linked it to "tropical semiring", but that only focuses on the mathematical concept, not the application. To give an analogy: it's akin to discussing "objective functions" and "derivatives" and how machine learning makes use of them (while linking to the "mathematical optimization" Wikipedia article), while failing to mention the keywords "gradient descent" and "loss function". The minus sign might seem insignificant to a mathematician, but the discussion fails to communicate (or even acknowledge) that one of those terms is the canonical one that comes up in that field/application. This introduces a bit of an extra hurdle for those seeking more literature in the area.
