  Ok correct, technically I guess the outer 2D surface of a bowling ball is a pair of pants. For the entire 3D object to qualify, the holes would have to be connected internally.

  Huh. So mathematically, I guess a bowling ball is a pair of pants.

  There are different levels of understanding.

  I’m trained in physical sciences. I studied at university and then worked ~8 years for a research department and at one point learned 2D NMR and how to run molecular simulations on a supercomputer. I’m well aware of the challenges of winning grants against colleagues and getting papers published and surviving peer review and then hoping your work gets noticed outside your of weird little niche.

  My buddy is a schoolteacher. He can run circles around me with arithmetic and explain the scientific method in rap format so kids eat it up.

  We’re both ostensibly working with the same core principles but the reality ends up quite different. Context matters.

  I’m actually inclined to believe this somewhat, for the simple fact that Krafton could be legally liable for slander if the statements are untrue.

  Also, did we know previously that 90% of that $250M was allocated to the three executives? That’s a bit shocking to me. If Krafton really wanted to create goodwill, they could say that money remains on the table but would be 100% allocated to the rest of the development team now instead.
