>>13539289I see not trying as more pathetic. You see it with posters that try ti be as vague as possible in their answers to reduce the risk of being called out for false information. These are the posters that tell you to go read a book or post a link for wikis article on "mathematics" if you have a question on math, then they claim they answered the question. They are dominated by fear.
Those who try and fail also have fear but they are not controlled by it.
