So as somebody relatively well versed in math but definitely not full blown mathematician (engineer with a math minor) - I accept that this is a conclusion that a lot of people smarter than myself have agreed on but it still always bothered me.
I’m not disagreeing that it’s how the math falls out but I feel like there’s something fundamentally wrong with it. It’s like (and more or less related to) our understanding of quantum mechanics.. it feels like our current understandings are a case of the kid who got the right answer despite solving it incorrectly and like there’s a significant error/piece missing.
