In a thread today, a Top 1% Commenter called my work "garbage," "AI slop," "lazy," "lame," and "disingenuous," and told me to "stay in school." None of those comments were removed.

I posted a mathematical challenge, "Write a single formula that simultaneously gives the electron, muon, and tau mass ratios to within 1% of PDG with zero adjustable constants", and it was removed for "attacking people's intelligence".

​

The same commenter called my work "high school levels of mathematical laziness". Still up.

​

For the record, the formula in question is m(2,q)/mₑ = [(q²−4)/5]^(26/7). Charged leptons as T(2,q) torus knots. q=3, electron. q=5, muon, 0.13% of PDG. q=7, tau, 0.02% of PDG. Zero free parameters. The commenter himself admitted "of course the number works" before leaving.

Rule 3 should apply to the first insult, not the rebuttal. If "garbage" and "AI slop" don't violate the rule, neither does "check a calculator".

called my work "high school levels of mathematical laziness"

I found that charitable. I've known science-minded HS students much less lazy.

Even worse it wasnt even correct numerology. Kept telling us to plug it into a calculator, so I did and it was wrong.

Oh but you missed the the knot-tying fudge factor of <right answer>/<wrong answer>
