"The proof ends up being remarkably elementary."
Dude then proceeds to dump about 16 A4 pages worth of heavy-duty algebra which 99.999% of the humans on the surface of this planet are completely unable to read past the first two lines.
LOL, I guess language is a "remarkably" vague tool, where "elementary" means vastly different things to different people.
That doesn't diminish the achievement of course, but ... please, easy on the "remarkably elementary" next time, that's borderline insulting.
"elementary" does not mean simple or easy, it refers to the domain of mathematics involved in the proof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_proof
Your definition of "elementary" is the one used by the other 100.0 - 99.999 %
Thank you for making my point for me.
Ivory tower much?
