I think it says a lot about the parlous state of mathematical education in this country that (presumably) quite a few people laid eyes on this and saw nothing wrong (or didn't feel confident to say it).Comment

Could it be that they know this will end badly so to save people time thinking they serve them some early signs of incompetence? They are afraid that if people start thinking just a little bit, they might see the hard thruths and won’t be so easily pushed around in the future.Comment
