The ultimate STEM civil war nobody talks about! Mathematicians and physicists have been silently judging each other's approach to inner products for centuries. While mathematicians insist inner products are linear in the first slot (pure, elegant, axiomatically sound), physicists stubbornly make them linear in the second slot (because who needs convention when you've got quantum mechanics to worry about?). This subtle notation difference has caused more interdepartmental tension than budget cuts and parking spaces combined. Next time you're at a university cocktail party, just whisper "which slot is linear?" and watch chaos unfold.
