it’s mean in that they intentionally wrote it to trip people up so we’d have this very conversion…

But how do you know they did that? Becuase it’s perfectly legit the way it’s written.

Because this it’s trivial to write it in a way that won’t cause this confusion and yet every 3 months or so someone posts another one of these gotcha no context given equations and we as the internet have this same discussion again and again. It’s bait…

Well, it’s causing YOU confusion yes. But to anyone who remembers the order of operation it’s not confusing at all.
