Are you familiar with the old joke about the engineer, the mathematician
and the economist stranded on a desert island with nothing but tinned
food, and no tin opener?

If not, the punchline from the economist is "we can open the tins
easily! Let's assume we have a tin opener ..."

I can see where that sort of thinking could be difficult for a
mathematician to deal with ...
