That it is what it has been in history of math. It has been like war
sometimes.

When Antic Greeks somebody show that there is somekind of number that is
not rational, some made a suicide. There are feelings in math too.

If you just study math in school and lamely agree everything allthough
allmost any sentence said in math is same kind of sentence as said
here in news. People have said them. People have written and they are
as much under critics as anything else.
