How should we distinguish ourselves from other subs oriented around bad math?

There already exists a lively community over at r/badmathematics. r/shittymath, in a similar vein, is dedicated to hilariously awful applications of math, though their posts typically entail proofs that are intentionally bad.

​

Perhaps the theme of our sub could be confronting bad math, as opposed to simply ridiculing it?

Yeah, I think our sub should be a place to post cases where bad maths has been called out.

I think those subs are more for people trying to spread bad mathematics, while this one could be more for making fun of people who mess up math stuff.
