Who or What Broke My Kids?
I'm 36, and math in my youth was always about getting the right answer, and proving how I got that answer, even up through college calculus and discrete mathematics. Heck, that's one of the things I really enjoyed about math, when compared to, say, English.So, if math isn't about getting the right answer, it's been broken a long time.Even today, math as I've explored it (which admittedly hasn't been much) has right and wrong answers. Sure, there's a bit of fuzz in the answers now, but a probabilistic model which can't determine ham from spam some majority of the time isn't kinda right, or even on the spectrum of right. It's just wrong, and needs to be fixed.
