the use of the word "proof" is this Newsgroup is shocking


Don't know about this newsgroup, but in math class "proofs"
were things that claimed to verify that some assertion was
in fact true. I never really figured out how proofs actually
worked or why I should care. As proofs never showed on tests.
All the "proof" I ever needed was that some process applied
to a test problem would yield a "correct" answer and I'd
get a decent grade.
