Drawing that little square at the end of a mathematical proof is like slapping a "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner on a burning building! The square (or QED symbol) is supposed to signify "thus it is demonstrated," but in reality it's often more like "please don't check my work too carefully." Nothing beats the rush of confidently scribbling that tiny square after 3 pages of absolute mathematical gibberish. Bonus points if you write it with such force that you tear through the paper! The universal symbol for "I have no idea what I just did but I'm pretending I do!"
