I would feel bad to laugh at that as a human being with an IQ above 50.
Good god..."I'm not a mathematician." Yeah, fine. Did you ever finish elementary school?

This isn't so much math as it is units.



"Do you recognize that there's a difference between one dollar and one cent?"

CSR: "Definitely"

"Do you recognize that there's a difference between half a dollar and half a cent?"

CSR: "Definitely."

"Thendo you therefore recognize that there's a difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents?"

CSR: "No."

I read txrandom's post as the subject matter in the video was a matter of opinion, but now that I look back at it, he might have just meant that the whole incident being "facepalm" was a matter of opinion.

Oops
