As far as I can tell, the whole job of mathematics professors is to obfuscate the fact that this is a thing.

Replying to @Meaningness @DRMacIver
The sentiment here expressed is no doubt somewhat tongue-in-cheek, so it's unclear how seriously to respond to it. But, for the record, obfuscation is not the whole job of any mathematics professor. Most strive ceaselessly to make themselves clear. (And usually fail, alas.)

Replying to @MathPrinceps @DRMacIver
Yes, the joke here is a silly explanation for the mystery of why they are mainly unable or unwilling to explain what math is or how to do it, which would (to an outsider) seem to be a large part of the job.
