The duality of mathematical precision! While non-mathematicians think math requires perfect accuracy, actual mathematicians casually write expressions like "π minus (a tiny-but-definitely-positive number that my computer couldn't evaluate in a reasonable amount of time)." This perfectly captures how professional mathematicians often use approximations, hand-waving, and computational shortcuts while maintaining theoretical rigor. They'll spend hours proving a number exists, then just label it "sufficiently small ε" and move on with their lives. The computational negligence is not a bug—it's a feature!
