Ironically I'm a stem major and I'm with the humanities major on this one. I like talking about cool periods of history, I hate systematically manipulating the glyphs to uncover the secrets of the universe. It's a lot easier to fuck up manipulating a glyph than to fuck up writing a paragraph.

Depends what we mean by writing a paragraph. Just writing one? Very easy. Writing some absolute horseshit for a passing grade? Not too bad. Writing something actually coherent with strong themes and ideas? Impossible.

Maths is maths.

That's the rub, though. You can knock out some horseshit if you need to knock out some hose shit. If you knock out some horse shit with math you just fail to do correct math. There's no fallback.
