I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.
It’s about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it’s worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I’m probably biased because I wrote it :)
I am thinking then we both understood some and misunderstood some.
My point was, if I want to critic the blog for it’s internally odd Argumentation, then obviously it makes sense to use the blog as a source and it is in fact the only valid source for the critic of internally odd Argumentation.
My intention wasn’t to use the blog as a source for anything beyond that.
e.g. you made a comment about teaching the “scientific” method to kids, and I can tell you as a teacher that we already do (but the OP never looked at any Maths textbooks, nor asked any Maths teachers) :-)
Yeah, I thought maybe you meant that, but I wasn’t sure, and in any case I wanted to make clear it’s totally worthless to use as a source for anything else (for the reasons I mentioned). :-)
Fair, thanks for the talk
Well thanks to you too for a proper conversation. :-) There’s a lot of people here wanting to pull out their pitchforks over the smallest thing.
