Treacherous math
May 17th, 2008
Mindless math can lead you to false conclusions

Can you spot the error in this “proof”?
If you want to make it look less frivolous, try writing “A = B/C” and see if the following ought to be true: “If B = 0, C = 0.”
This is why applying rules of algebra without a solid understanding of mathematics is … well, idiotic.
