> Wikipedia is not designed to be a pedagogical repository; arguing that the mathematical language sucks because a terse summary in wikipedia is not enough to understand the material is missing the point. Nicely worded. I think the real issue is that many people want mathematics to be easy to read and understand. Unfortunately, much of mathematics is not easy to read nor is it easy to understand regardless of how it is written. Mathematics, like many other things, often requires a lot of intellectual scaffolding to be built from the bottom up. There is no shortcut to the top.
