"Aside from the fact that I don't believe a word you have to say about anything because you do no checking of facts and offer no evidence to back you and have been caught cutting and pasting from ... without crediting it by another poster, your assertion doesn't even have a thing to with anything. "

You should be careful with virulent statements like this (which others have already made about you!) when they also refer to yourself! This demonstrates clearly your inability to recognize defects in your own personality such as denial and projection.

"Think about it. Can you calculate a square or cube root?"

Was taught in Primary School, long division, ratios, fractions too. Have no need to do it by hand these days, except when doing quick 'back of envelope calculations', such as checking wild statements by the likes of you. If I need to actually use such old skills such as these and things like blacksmithing, which I have also done in the past, I do a bit of quick 'refresh study' when needed.

You see no need to apologies or even admit you cut and paste, and even deny it, I was only following your sacred example mate!

You may indeed have lots of old books, if we can believe anything you say, but as was recently demonstrated with another poster and Helmholtz's original books, old time 'books of understanding' can get obsolete pretty quick as knowledge keeps on growing. Too much 'obsession with old books' leads to stultification of the thinking process, leading to people who think and behave as you do.
