I always state the field or ring which we calculate in, in my assignments.

Good for you.

Doesn't change the truth of what I said about the reals being understood as the normal convention when no other domain or field is specified. If you are genuinely a mathematician, you already know this. Which makes your pedantry simply wrong: as I the question was given, with no alternative field specified, that implies that the field is to be taken as the reals, which leaves my answer correct.

You think that your pedantic criticism about not specifying the field makes you seem clever, but it actually does the opposite.

Your truth. Not mine. Just because it yours, it doesn't follow you can't get anywhere near in selling it to me, so far. I got carte blanche in how i apply my rules. My superiors pay me exceedingly well for the few hours i invest into teaching students.

So honestly, i don't give a fuck how you do. The same i don't give a fuck about how many times you repeat your opinions. Because you gave not a single point, i'd let go through as an actual argument.

My lectures: my rules. Simple as that it is.
