Re: Miscellany
I encountered someone doing math like that recently. She was just sort of tossing various operations at numbers until she came up with something that fit her needs. The math made zero sense at all, of course, but she was super confident about her 'facts.' It was kind of weird and sad.
On the plus side, it made me feel smart, because lots of people didn't even notice what was wrong with those numbers. On the minus side, lots of people didn't even notice what was wrong with those numbers.
And one plus times one minus equals that I win.
