I’m not going to lie, algebra wasn’t my cup of tea for a long time. Whenever you have a naive set of people commenting on a thread, my theory is that there is a category of folks who always take it too far leading to people feeling left out. An excluded middle if you will. I say education is at the root of the problem, and blame the state machine for that.
I didn't expect the downvote. However, I want to assure that I'm not being sarcastic or attacking. I'm just stating that an insight can be found anywhere, and I think that's wonderful.
