My being the dum-dum I am about maths, I still find it fascinating that in an algebraic equation, and it is not obvious a term =0, the problems still accrue.
If you divide by (A+B-C) and A=1, B=2, and C=3, you still have a fail brewing. You can't sneak one thru !!!
Yep, that's the trick behind that joke where you show that 1=2, and a assumption in the beginning hides the fact that one divides by zero later in the derivation.
