I work with people who speak about a dozen languages collectively. Watching Webex try to caption is hilarious. It’s wrong every time a non native English speaker opens their mouth.

Touting “first principals” is a way of revealing “I’m too dumb to understand other people’s work.” Like if you can’t understand higher level concepts and have to start on your own from Euclid, it just means you aren’t very smart but think you can be another Maxwell just by thinkin’ real hard. It’s a joke.
