Do you mean the person who tried to use a cliche'd gotcha as a result of their misunderstanding of what mathematics is? Or me who was unimpressed by the aforementioned cliche'd anti-intellectualism in their comment? Because there is no nuance here that I have missed - they pulled out the deeply tired idea that mathematics, which is a descriptive language, has not yet comprehensively described all of what constitutes a "flower" and thus cannot conceivably do that - which is a patently absurd requirement that belies an utter lack of understanding of the fundemental purpose of mathematics or the function of language in general.

"Oh I see you actually responded to what I was saying - I'm not here for a discussion or to be wrong, I'm just here to be smugly superior, so I'm just going to ignore that" - you, apparently?

If you want to discuss the ideas here feel free, I do enjoy doing that, but jeeze I hope you're drunk posting because this is deeply embarassing behavior...
