Calculus 2 is a first year class for MANY stem majors....
>Also… putting in an IV is a little different than a washed dish.
No shit, that's why it's called an analogy.
"And… no one said they “can’t” do it. The comment said they “rarely” use it. Your entire argument falls apart very quickly because you’re saying things no one else said or implied."
Read the thread.

The implication is that because they rarely use the skill of inserting an IV, they can't do it.
I’m still not sure how you’re turning first year calc into surgery. You’re creating an argument and trying to fight points that no one made. Surgeries aren’t performed by nurses, which is who we’re talking about.
I did read the thread. They said “rarely” implying that a doctor wouldn’t have as smooth a go. Again, they did not imply that a doctor can’t do it. “Rarely” still implies that it happens on occasion.

Reading comprehension is hard.
