I meant to be wrong.

Apropos, one of my favorite HS teachers - Rocky, aka MR. Rockwell, aka the math guy - died last week.

He was a vet, a pilot, and a really good influence on my life. Looked at me funny when I enlisted during the Iranian Hostage Crises, but was really supportive.

I kept meaning to go show him my degree in Math - it would have made him laugh.

But I never did.

Sigh.

“I meant to be wrong.”

I assumed so. One of my favorite HS teachers taught us the fallacy underlying this “proof.” But until he did so, it had us all baffled.
