Math SAT score was 790 and Math 2c of the SAT II was scored 800, although I'm not sure why it is at all relevant.

I was basically joking. But the basis for it was that those with lower SATs would never notice the need for the extra premise and those with higher ones are not sticklers for adding it. We need people like you though. I admit that. In fact our own Mason Malmuth has similar attributes. Its just that when you are talking to a disparate audience it is important to dumb down a bit to avoid eyes glazing over. I have several times suggested to Mason he remove a footnote or parenthetical remark for just that reason.
