Are you asserting that
- that in a given geometric diagram, two lines that look pretty parallel can be assumed to be parallel?
- that, in this diagram, I can assume AD and BC are parallel simply because they look parallel?

- that this diagram is "maliciously misleading"?
So, in this diagram, if AD and BC are not parallel, you would consider this "tricking" people, yes?mathwonk said:I just know from decades of experience that it is hard enough to teach even the most basic facts, that one does not ever have time to waste tricking 98% of people with questions like this.
