  For most of us, we aren’t in college to learn a specific skill so much as we are there to learn how to be taught. To prove we are capable of taking instructions and producing results as requested.

  This is true to the extent that you won’t be solving Organic Chemistry 1 or Linear Algebra exercises at your workplace, but I think it’s misleading. If anything, from my experience, people focus too much on producing the results and not enough on learning the skills. A lot of people stay on the mindset of “I only need the degree / where am I going to need that / the industry has moved on from this” and don’t build strong foundations

  Oops, my bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversing with Mathematicians⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  so you came up with your own term to cover your mistake?

  That’s not how the square root is defined.

  You’re confusing “square root of 100” with “the answer to x^2 = 100”. These are different things.

  That implication wasn’t made. The original comment mentions how it took men 70 years to drain it (meaning that the drainage started during the USSR), and the comment below does not challenge that fact.

  This does not dispute his claim that most of the evaporation happened post-USSR.
