    Oh, a journalist, then bitch on :D (no /s, after all, random bitching is a fair part of lemmy).

    But I think people replied to your og message because of the (mis?)use of the word “contradictory”, not because of the bitching as such.
    (And Im mostly here bcs I like to understand myself, like what triggered you sceptically & how the same thing played in my mind)

      because of the ~~(mis?)~~use of the word “contradictory”,

      I used that only in my second comment, after the first person got flustered :) Go up two more in the comment chain and you’ll see my original comment. Although, I stand by the second comment as well - the article is contradicting itself.

      If I say

      The square root of -1 is i […] The square root of -1 is not defined. […]

      Only to THEN go on to explain what imaginary numbers are, then I have still contradicted myself :)
