alt Hacker NewsI was calling you a gatekeeper rather than notation, but feel free to keep stuffing that man with your straw.
The sentence I called out, independent of the article's content: "You expect the players of the game to learn the rules before they play."
Is you explicitly stating your goal is gatekeeping.
The only thing that sentence says is that it’s impossible to understand math without understanding the language of math and how it is constructed. Not sure how that is controversial or gatekeeping. If you are annoyed at that comment saying “learn” instead of “be taught”, I think that’s a pedantic argument because the argument wasn’t about that at all.
