   i'm constantly amazed how bad many of the mathematics articles on wikipedia are, same for more esoteric CS concepts. It's like they actively want to prevent you from understanding it.

     @lain that's probably the case considering the amount of fraud and revisionism that happens on wikipedia

     @lain being good at a topic ≠ being good at explaining it. especially in academia, where the professors with the highest qualifications are poached by universities for the research opportunities (and they're forced to teach to maximize the uni's investment). usually, those people aren't really given any pedagogic training, and are just dropped into a classroom. very rarely will they be a naturally born "good teacher", and this subsequently applies to textbook authors who are usually less qualified than the top academic brass (depending on the field ofc)

     @lain those articles are obscure enough they probably have only one contributor writing the majority of the text. If that person was a bad writer (or not very knowledgeable or careful) then the article will be bad.

     @lain @Rocc What they do is they take an interesting subject, then they suck all the joy out of it until it is the most boring thing you've ever read in your whole life.
