A black box PROVIDES function but is a BLACK BOX, not *A* function. Again, as I teach my son, "Lazy with words, lazy within one's mind." In other words, mathematicians are nescient with respect to speaking. Any Mathematician is nothing more than a High Priest of Academia, indoctrinated into the Church of Science through rites, rituals and incantation. By misuse of speaking language, any Mathematician can perform thaumaturgy. Thaumaturgy of any kind does not absolve the Mathematician of being inarticulate.
