gollark: How wonderful.
gollark: Although it's more "complete inability to listen to anyone competent" than "lack of maths knowledge".
gollark: Politicians who don't know maths can just ignore it and demand changes somewhere, see.
gollark: Remember, even if you only studied philosophy or politics, maths can't hurt you if you just deny it constantly or ban it, and technology people can do anything if you complain enough!
gollark: As is typical for this sort of immense stupidity this was about cryptography and them wanting magic backdoors.
