What's a "rabbit"?
- User23 2y agoA rabbit is when the mathematician presents the next step in a proof as a magician pulls a rabbit from a hat; leaving his reader to puzzle out how the trick was performed. For shorter proofs this can be delightful, but for longer ones it becomes tedious or even unmanageable.
