gollark: It seems to be if you use the WRONG version, is the thing.
gollark: Apparently, if you integrate the "characteristic function of the rational numbers" (1 if rational, 0 otherwise) from 0 to 1, you will attain 1, because x is always rational (because b - a is 1, and all the partitions are the same size), even though it should be 0.
gollark: For another thing, as I found out while reading a complaint by mathematicians about the use of Riemann integrals over gauge integrals, if you always take the point to "sample" as the left/right/center of each partition *and* the thing is evenly divided up into partitions, it's actually wrong in some circumstances.
gollark: For one thing, the sum operator is very bee there because it does not appear to be counting integers.
gollark: It's wrong and abuse-of-notationy however.
