       @kairyssdal I think the clean answer is “we don’t want to say it’s China so they have to fess up and look bad”.

       @regehr ask it what’s heavier: one pound of cotton or two pounds of lead. It’s hilarious

       @interfluidity I’ve always thought it was a Deep Thing about linear algebra that infinite dimensional linear operators don’t always admit eigenvectors. The typical example is the shift operator, and it does precisely this: it “creates a new dimension” a la Hilbert Hotel that is in the orthogonal complement of its range, so you can’t find a “fixed point”

       @interfluidity don’t know if it’s convergent evolution or deliberate, but this is cult maintenance 101, right?
