Add some whonky Akkadian math. Pretty sure most people will just sort of not say anything and pretend they understand it.

To be fair, having an understanding of how a particular formula or relationship was discovered and proved makes it a lot easier to remember and intuit the possible applications. Like, even the basic stuff like connecting derivatives to slopes and rates of growth helps you partially recreate the formulas for them, if you didn’t memorize them symbol for symbol

Whatever it takes to prove that √(log k/ε² + log log n) error bound with 95% probability – “probably almost correct” – what else do you need, really?
