Now Tim, can you answer my signature (basically asking if the second statement is true)? Bob and Kian brought up some commotion at the comp.

I liked this part:

a child might tell his parents "I ate every vegetable on my plate," when there were no vegetables on the child’s plate to begin with.

I liked this part:

The answer is that it depends on the emphasis.

I will explain through dialogue.

It is a true statement in this usage:
A: I never wear a belt when I wear sweatpants
B: Kian always wears a belt with sweatpants.

It is false in this usage:
A: Kian always dresses funny.
B: I know, right? He always wears a belt with sweatpants.

amirite

‎"Outside of mathematics, statements which can be characterized informally as vacuously true can be misleading. Such statements make reasonable assertions about qualified objects which do not actually exist. "

This crap doesn't fly outside of the world of pure mathematics. There is nothing more fundamentally ridiculous than making statements about objects that don't exist.

If I had a dime every time Bob corrects someone, I'd be rich.
Wait, so you're a math teacher; is Kian a math teacher also?

I agree. Did you guys know that all my sub 20 solves at that comp were sub 15?

Did you expect anything else from a math major?
