  When Donald Trump began campaigning in 2016 his supporters cryptically described his platform as "he's saying what everybody's secretly thinking!"

  Naturally, I initially assumed this is what they meant-- that real numbers are bullshit. Unfortunately I was way, way off.

  Anyway, real numbers are bullshit! Linus and Willard are saying what everybody's secretly thinking!
