@emsquared What an strangely pointless article - I had to check it wasn't silly season, and then check twice that it wasn't on NewsThump. No, the theorem hasn't been "debunked", it's just been pointed out that it can't be interpreted literally. So this story about a "misleading" theorem is itself misleading.
And, speaking of pedantry... that's not a monkey.
But I expect you already realised all of that.

@macronencer You do have to take you hat off to people that get money to research things like this. Fair play to state the obvious as a means to funding.
All I could hear when reading it was John Thompson's spaced out scientist from the Fast Show "Get typing Dave". -
@emsquared Haha! Oh yes, I remember him. I must re-watch those at some point. They're... BRILLIANT!

@macronencer I see what you did there
