The infamous physics textbook approach: "Assume that a penguin is a circular cylinder." Because apparently, in the idealized world of physics problems, birds are perfect geometric shapes and friction doesn't exist unless it's inconvenient for the calculation. Next week: "Consider a spherical cow in a vacuum." The gap between theoretical physics and reality is approximately the same size as the professor's denial about how many students actually understand the material.
