Quite ironic considering

  > Yellowcake doesn't know what you are talking about either

I actually said

  >> @yellocake seems to understand that "addition" doesn't mean 'addition' 

Which is entirely based off of

  >>>>>> Presumably you're overloading the addition symbol

I didn't assume their knowledge, they straight up told me and I updated my understanding based on that. That's how conversations work. And the fact that they understand operator overloading doesn't mean they understand more either. Do they understand monoids, fields, groups, and rings? Who knows? We'll have to let yellowcake tell us.

Regardless, what you claim I assumed about yellowcake's knowledge is quite different than what I actually said. So maybe take your own advice.

I write a lot because, unlike you, I understand these things are complex. Were it simpler, I would not need as many words.
