The posts that inspired my pushback implied skepticism due to the current social mania that elevates fashionably intersectional but otherwise unqualified persons. So I’m keeping an open mind, not being adept at higher math myself.
Until it is reliably shown that the girls’ reasoning is invalid, I don’t wish to dismiss their claim simply because of their sex and race.
I wasn’t dismissing the claim based on sex or race, but some sure seem to jump right to that conclusion. The fact that many in todays work environment want to artificially elevate peoples of no particular accomplishment to places of stature may have had something to do with it. But more so, is giving children (cause that’s what they still are) the impression they can change the world in some incredible way when the fact is, the only way to do that is through teams where you play small incremental parts. No one does it by themselves. We should teach kids that if they want to change the world, be part of something great. Not that you can be an army of one.
Anyway, I don’t have any ill will towards these girls, but I ain’t blowing smoke up their butts to make them feel like they are smarter than all the other true math greats who have laid the foundations for our mathematical and physics based accomplishments.
I fall in a different camp than you. I’m skeptical until you prove it, as opposed to believing a claim until it’s disproven. My only exception to that is faith in The Creator.
