True enough, but I think one with accurate math is more likely to focus more people on the more enraging substance rather than the mere fact of a math error. It may be enraging to some people but I don't think it's anywhere near optimally enraging.

Yeah, I think the more general problem is people can only get so enraged if they realize it's a bot. So the sentences have to be good enough to pass a perfunctory Turing test. The math is only one of several tells in these.
