Hi jlk;
Welcome to the forum! Happy anniversary!
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.

Do not worry, there are still plenty of oppurtunities to fail in middle age and old age.

The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.
