    IF you're not willing to directly enumerate the math professors with which you've spoken on this topic and how many of them argued this with you, then you're still blowing hot air.

    I've read scholarly articles on this subject, and even if all the math professors you asked argued this side of it, it's still not representative of the wider community of mathematicians.

    I think the fact that I bring light to the bold being true means I clearly am not stating that the bold is true. What you're actually getting at is whether or not they think it's inventing or discovering, which I was getting at tongue in cheek that they have all said inventing. I'd put this number at about 5. This is from their own mouths, no guiding questions to lead them to a certain word.

    Good for you having read things though, link things if you like.

    No you're misunderstanding. Please do it. I want you to. I just also like you enough to point out that you'll come across badly doing so and I know that type of thing isn't your strong suit.

    You grasp on English isn't enough to back up things with LDO. And yeah I know it isn't.

    I'd think you, of all people, would see the humor in me using that trite abbreviation used by kids and idiots in pointing out something ridiculously arbitrary.
