    My grandpa said using a calculator would spoil my math abilities.

    Actually it spoiled my arithmetic tricks. Instead I had more time to learn things like vector calculus.

      Yeah, but your calculator does math the same way every time, and doesn’t hallucinate wrong answers seemingly at random.
