Sorry, could not help it but this discussion has turned into something pretty familiar:

INIGO: You are using Bonetti's defense against me, eh?

MAN IN BLACK: I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

INIGO: Naturally, you must expect me to attack with Capo Ferro.

MAN IN BLACK: Naturally. But I find that Thibault cancels Capo Ferro, don't you?

INIGO: Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa... which I have!



And this belongs to?


Just read the above discussions and get a laugh. Yes, I know it is just a joke but... not much so, if you think of it.

Ah, discussions between set theorists and logicians, those were the days.


The quote was familiar but I couldn't remember the source. The meaning is clear though! Amazing neverending discussions, it makes me remember the Feynman anecdote when he observed matematiians discussions.


Inigo in this context can only be Inigo Montoya... as in, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!

EDIT: I had not seen the movie, and I don't know how it's relevant. Obviously that means I should downvote!


Movie reference. The Princess Bride.


Thank you!, it sounded familiar but couldn't remember the source.
