NOW go out and do a web search on "unskilled and unaware" and really
understand it this time.
Okay, I Googled "unskilled and unaware" and came across this:

1.. Incompetent individuals, compared with their more competent peers,
will dramatically overestimate their ability and performance relative to
objective criteria.
2.. Incompetent individuals will suffer from deficient metacognitive
skills, in that they will be less able than their more competent peers to
recognize competence when they see it-be it their own or anyone else's.
3.. Incompetent individuals will be less able than their more competent
peers to gain insight into their true level of performance by means of
social comparison information. In particular, because of their difficulty
recognizing competence in others, incompetent individuals will be unable to
use information about the choices and performances of others to form more
accurate impressions of their own ability.
4.. The incompetent can gain insight about their shortcomings, but this
comes (paradoxically) by making them more competent, thus providing them the
metacognitive skills necessary to be able to realize that they have
performed poorly.

Did you see that one coming? Some simple algebra and I can show
factors of 2 forced to be shared between some radical expressions.
Blows away so many flawed mathematical ideas--just like that.
And what will you do now?
Some people showed you the the inner workings of what many of you are
actually made of with their replies in that thread.
Your people are about denial. Dreams versus reality.
TELLING yourselves you are great. Telling yourselves you are
brilliant.
Telling yourselves you understand mathematics.
And calling people names and attacking them when they bring your
fantasies into question.
NOW go out and do a web search on "unskilled and unaware" and really
understand it this time.
You people have to wake up from fantasy mode where you think just
because you have a crowd of other losers telling you stupid crap is
real mathematics that it is.
Look at your history books!!!
You do NOT see hordes of mathematicians, you see INDIVIDUALS.
People like me. And the horror of our modern society is the power that
people like you get from each other. The ability to share a
delusion--and convince the world.
