Good, not Grrrrrr
Another "proof" of a totally pointless piece of math trivia by supercomputer brute force. Enumerating all possible cases instead of finding a pattern and developing a theory.
My initial response is GRRRRRRRR. Waste of effort.
But wait, there's less!
Think of this in terms of opportunity cost and displacement. If these mindless idiots and their expensive power-wasting machines had NOT been running this pointless shit, they would have more time and CPU cycles available to do evil things like war planning or "global warming" dyscalculations. They would be killing millions and ruining billions of people.
On a different level, this activity causes other idiots to wonder whether theories are the best way to approach a problem. It's a point scored by "facts", even though the "facts" in this situation are not really observations of reality.
Thus: Reluctantly and indirectly, Bravo! Sort of.
