      But none of it is wrong is it? Just that incomplete.

      Now makes me wonder what is the most recent mathematical discovery that is understandably useful to an average person.

        Nah a lot of crap is wrong in old curriculum. In many worse ways than Newtonian physics being an exceptionally simplified model, or the old model of atoms being wrong, or chemistry before the periodic table of elements was figured out, etc.

        People assume we’ve known things for waaaay longer than we have. At least anyone laughing with this comic.
