  This feels like we are on the Fallout timeline. How are we doing if Fallout was rebranded to get the world stuck in the early 00’s?

  I am sure they have cooled off by the time they posted this XD

  If the point is for your kids to have straight teeth, then yes. If having straight teeth makes you happy, then no.

  Of course. Biology is complicated.

  I can’t count the number of times I mention to my students that body cell mutations (or in this case surgery) do not affect reproductive cells XD

  I disabled it immediately so I don’t have these issues as well.

  Wow med school has really upped their game.

  To confirm, you are asserting that the foundation for your answer (mathematical reasoning) does not require any mathematics to understand why it is true.

  It’s very dangerous to take a reductionist approach and not be aware of the baked in assumptions you are using. For example, the terms even and odd (for this problem) are well defined as concepts for integers. Which means that your hand-wave statement is true as a result of definitions that were likely created to ensure this property held true.

  The notion that “I don’t need math to understand why this is true” is like saying “I made an observation on a phenomenon and I don’t need science to know it’s true.” Which, as you are hopefully aware, is again reductionist and leads to a huge distrust of science from the science illiterate.

  Which is the layman’s terms of the proof… I don’t get what your goal is.

  Is this a ridiculous formalized statement? Yes, of course it is. Is it a building block for learning to read mathematical works? Yes, of course it is. But that’s the point. We need to practice the trivial to build the scaffolding to tackle the exceptional.

  I am not wont to draw conclusions with minimal evidence, but your post seems like you are a malicious reductionist that may be suffering from Dunning Kruger syndrome. I apologize in advance if I have miscategorized you based on this limited sample.

  That’s the nature of politics both short and long term.
