The function shown is -x², which should be a beautiful parabola opening downward. But the graph is zoomed in SO MUCH (±0.001 on both axes) that it appears as a straight horizontal line! It's like claiming you've discovered that Earth is flat because your backyard looks level. The mathematical equivalent of using a microscope to look at an elephant and declaring "elephants are gray walls." Mathematicians everywhere are screaming internally at this level of zoom abuse.
