gollark: Your nonstandard and connotation-laden definitions are *not* helpful.
gollark: But actually it just happens to do that up until n = 41 because your examples show no general trend.
gollark: To be mathy about this, consider n² + n + 41. If you substitute n = 0 to n = ~~40~~ 39, you'll see "wow, this produces prime numbers. I thought those were really hard and weird, what an amazing discovery".
gollark: Examples do not and cannot demonstrate some sort of general principle, particularly a more abstract one.
gollark: Again, some examples of things needing some sort of balance DO NOT imply it is good or generally necessary.
