See, this is a type of proof that many mathematicians overlook preferring to opt instead for Proof by Contradiction or Proof by Induction. If they just sit and applied Proof by Waiting, they could solve their theorems with 100x less the effort.
This morning I proved Pythagoras’s Theorem by employing Proof by Waiting. I waited exactly 5 seconds, and in that time found that it had been proved by a simple online search. Mathemeticians are idiots.
