In this case, your friend Stuart accused someone of having obviously flunked high school algebra for invoking the concept of an algebraic ring This is a very embarrassing thing for him to do, and I am now laughing at both him and you

Like we do not need to teach HS kids ring theory, but we can teach them matrix algebra to point out that some things which are true in more familiar contexts are not true in others. Like a*b=0 => a=0 or b=0 is true in Z, Q, R, and C but not for any ring of nxn matrices n>1.
