Sad.
My concern stems from the opening line, which is: "I've been thinking about the concept of warp drive. From what I understand, when a... -

Like.
Sometimes people don't understand how impactful that can be. I think it is clear from the context that you want to talk about the... -
I was not teaching a course in geometry, but engineering physics. Including a diagram that tries to misrepresent the discription seems...

I never said otherwise. I simply said that, in my native language, both the Alcubierre engine and the science-fictional warp drive from...

weirdoguy replied to the thread Geometry: Similar Shapes.@DaveC426913 are you a teacher doing that in your practice? You know, some techniques look perfect on paper, but practically they suck...

So, in this diagram, if AD and BC are not parallel, you would consider this "tricking" people, yes?

You're kidding, right? Here's from post #26, as to why the figure in the problem is deliberately misleading. See @pbuk's opinion on...

You are second-guessing the intent of the poser. Why look for malice when there is a perfectly valid educational basis for the set up of...
