I agree with almost all of that. It's as stupid as the blue dress and Laurel/Yanny. But in those silly controversies we learned some really interesting things. There's that opportunity here, but instead of getting into why or why not we do things, you've opted for snark.
The dress and Laurel/Yanny were super-interesting, because they illustrated some aspects of the human visual and hearing systems that people don't realize, namely that what you see and hear aren't pure representations of the world. The brain has photoshopped them.

The equation doesn't illuminate any interesting concepts. It's just know-it-alls calling other people dumb.
