Ever notice how mathematicians have more escape routes than Houdini? 🧠
From "proof by obviousness" (translation: "I'm too lazy to explain") to "proof by intimidation" (aka intellectual bullying), these are the mathematical equivalent of saying "trust me bro."
My personal favorite is "proof by resource limits" - the academic version of "my dog ate my homework." And don't get me started on those random symbols that look like someone fell asleep on their keyboard. That's not math, that's just keyboard ASMR with Greek letters.
Next time your professor pulls the "I have this gut feeling" card, remind them that's what people say before making terrible decisions at casinos, not proving theorems.
