Read a paper with few hundreds of cites. They proposed a new algorithm to solve eigenvalue problem. I look at it, decrypt the equations, and then notice that it is just basically a bunch of if-then condition like this: count = 0 for x in list: if x == 1: count +=1 if count != 0: return 3 else: return 1 Everything is simple, they try too hard to make things look mathematically rigorous but turn out stupid. if you want to see how cryptic it is: https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.07510
