Smokey, it's a surprise to see that "proof by intimidation" exists in Mathematics. I thought that was one discipline where people could have a truly civil discussion and come to a friendly conclusion that would be accepted by all.

Now you're telling me that math can be every bit as contentious as religion. I had considered spending my Sundays peacefully doing math problems, but now you've pulled that carpet out from under me.

I'm crushed.    ;-)
