I'm sorry, but that doesn't work for me. What you're saying is
essentially: my mistakes are okay because I'm ignorant. Well, no.
I don't believe you need a university degree in math to do

to come up to standards. If you can't or won't, then what
is the point of reading what you write?

Mathematics *requires* rigor.
