Yeah, not understanding math and statistics makes propaganda so easy! I’ve seen so many people invest their savings into things that were mathematically or physically impossible from the get go. Gambling too!
Comment on What would you do?

Did you actually read what I wrote or the context behind it? I don’t think you did.
I am saying not everyone wants to learn these things just for the sake of it. Some people want to learn the parts of maths that are more practical and want to be given practical examples. I don’t see a problem with accommodating those students or looking down on people who think that way like the original commenter was doing.
What I am not saying is that no one should learn any maths at all. I don’t know how you got that from my comment. It’s like you are deliberately trying to misinterpret what I am saying.
