It's not terms, it's structure. You all seem to be fighting calculus and saying knowing addition and multiplication is enough. I'm reminded of friends refusing to learn chords on guitar and trying to invent their own musicality so they are not constrained by music theory.

You don't get situations where you can say that group theory would solve this bit really well and this bit could have been done with addition and shifts, but we have already committed to using calculus so unfortunately we can't use it,
