As a science nerd, mathologer basically just took the camp of “old concensus” and gave no other argument than “this is alien math, nope, I don’t like it”.

I mean maybe in the first video, but not the one I linked. Here, he was very precise about the mistakes Numberphile made in the presentation, and the purpose and utility of standard summation of convergent series versus the other methods of summation. Like he’s not dissing the idea or utility of summing divergent series literally at all, just Numberphile’s oversimplified presentation of it.
