You see, if you plebs are unable to understand our genius its solely due to your inadequacies as a person and as an intellect, but if we are unable to understand our genius, well, that's a lamentable crisis.

To make Mathematics "understandable" simply requires the inclusion of numerical examples. A suggestion 'the mathematics community' is hostile to.

If you are unable to express numerically then I'd argue you are unable to understand.
