Hi MIF;
Thanks for providing that.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Poor people. They had to know Latin and Greek and math.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.
