How do you deal with students who say "my gut says it works this way. This is an easy problem, the answer is obvious. I don't know how to explain it to you any more simply"?
I mean, it takes 162 pages to formally prove that 1+1=2, but we got by just fine before we wrote down that proof. We just knew the answer, we couldn't explain how. If a student is gifted, a high school level problem could be as simple to them as 1+1 is to most people. They might know and not be able to explain how. Now, in a university environment I'd expect them to learn the proof, but that's not the point of high school maths, is it? The point of high school maths is to know how to solve the problem, not to know why the solution works.
You didn't read my other comment in this thread where I directly said Biden was supplying arms to the genocide in Gaza, did you?
