    I suppose it depends on what you value. Language is more of a creative venture while math is more of a technical one. “Credit” is also somewhat of a nebulous term.

      I don’t know, once math becomes Greek letters and mathematician names it sort of seems to circle back around.

              More like the difference between a circle with radius r >> 0 vs a point.

              It was supposed to be another math pun about a line being 1 dimensional (at least it only requires a single parameter) with a point being 0D and the fact that “deep” conversations could be said to be multi-dimensional.
