Yeah, well, at least I'm not making a huge non-rigorous and physically inaccurate mess some future Cauchy and Einstein will have to clean up.https://twitter.com/martinkl/status/1237009359764365313 …
So tricky, statements like this one. There's always some danger of a naif taking them seriously -- or, if not exactly seriously, of imagining them as somehow at least partly in earnest. I myself always prefer to err on the side of attributing omniscience to Newton. Less risky.
