To be clear, I meant "idea" in the context of science and engineering, in particular AI, as in "theory" or "invention", like a new theory of cognition or an idea for a new ML approach. I thought that was clear because, first, that's what I always tweet about, and second, that's the only way to read it that made sense. I am very sorry that you thought I said "poems and love letters should be written in math." Easy mistake to make, since that's a totally sensible interpretation too! (for those readers: that last sentence is called "sarcasm", look it up). While it did not make any sense, it was a great dunk, so congrats on seizing the opportunity. You guys really love the word "retard", uh?
