What’s a common “fact” that’s spread around that’s actually not true and pisses you off that too many people believe it?

    I agree so much with this. We can use math to describe what you are doing when you throw a ball, that doesn’t mean you are doing the math calculations when you throw it.

    We can use math to calculate all sorts of things, doesn’t mean those things themselves are doing math to decide how to do them. Waves, the moon’s orbit, all kinds of natural systems we can use math to describe, but they aren’t doing math.
