It absolutely damages the argument. Not sure why you think your question is a gotcha.

  Think back. Has there ever been a time when you were both correct and angry? Would an angry Pythagoras' theorem be wrong, simply by virtue of his anger?

    He was a bit bonkers anyway. But maybe: The square of the hypotenuse — you multiply it by its bleedin' self — is LITERALLY equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Again. Multiply each of the other sides BY THEMSELVES, and then add them together. It's that bleedin' simple Jim Cramer could do it. That number is the same as the square of the hypotenuse, no matter what idiot CEOs think.

      ...and as horrible as that writing is, Pythagoras would have still been telling you a true thing. So too, Zitron?
