| Feb 13, 2015 at 12:08 | comment | added | quid | Yes, I mean certain "hints" among others. I agree that the CAS situation has some specifics to it. Yet, then I do not see how the situation would be helped concerning the (legitimate) points you raise if such information were provided in CW or as a comment instead.// Given your comment on OP it seems though that I misunderstood your position a bit. Sorry. | |
| Feb 13, 2015 at 12:01 | comment | added | Ron Gordon | @quid: quite true, and I have seen many many instances of that as well. (And, to the purveyors of such "correct" nonsense, I have to explain that up and downvotes do not indicate correctness but usefulness.) That said, there is a special perniciousness to some purely CAS-derived results that are clearly the result of a fixed algorithm. I tried to illustrate this in my answer here, and I imagine there are many more examples. On the other hand, human-written "answers" I think you mean include those that provide hints based on ideas not fully worked out. | |
