Why Can't You Just Say There Is A Sharp Angle

That moment when your mathematical intuition is screaming "this function has a corner!" but proving non-differentiability requires actual work. The calculus equivalent of knowing your roommate ate your leftovers but lacking the evidence to confront them.

Mathematicians spend hours writing proofs for things that are visually obvious. "Yes, that's clearly a sharp angle where the derivative doesn't exist, but please provide a formal epsilon-delta argument or I'll fail you." Twenty years of education just to formally verify what your eyeballs told you in two seconds.
