I know someone with a maths degree who claimed that
e^(-jwt) was a function that decreased with increasing t,
and cited the maths being taught to 13-year-olds as being
evidence!

(That he also has an electronics degree and failed to recognise
the significance of "j" in a discussion about complex cisoids is
priceless!

Cue....squirming, spin-doctoring, side-stepping, bull****ting
and downright lying.....)

I know someone with a degree from an 'avant-garde' university that
said 'heat' is radiated in 'heat bands', and claimed as evidence that
this was cited in schoolbooks!
