I knew for decades that my parents were going to die, but I still mourned the day it happened, and for a long while afterwards.
Your inability to give space for those who love math to mourn its inevitable evolution is unnecessarily cruel.
Yeah, that doesn't seem comparable to me. A true comparison I think would be if you denied your parents would ever die and then your life were put in jeopardy when it happened because you didn't plan.
But we've gone back and forth about this a few times now about the same disagreement over framing.
You have a nice day.
