“Mathematical fact” is an oxymoron.

Mathematical concepts are models, so like religious codes and encryption, they work out best when not factual(where they might be dis-covered). Math that correlates with reality is very useful, but should not be confused with it. ;)

You do some very good explanation work. Thanks.
