You suck at math!" and more "The Riemann Hypothesis is false. That branch of mathematics you've been studying for 30 years? It doesn't actually exist." | |

Somehow this conjures up the image of ragged figures holding begging bowls and signs proclaiming "Will prove theorems for food". This undoubtedly reveals a dark region of my soul, but I find it appealing. An excellent & sensible answer. Well done! | |
