So you'd be in the maths book which explains in detail how two
negative numbers multiplied, give a positive. Then in the next
chapter, give an equally believable (to fools) explanation of the
square root of a negative number. Use enough of these (imaginary)
numbers and formula, I guess you can "prove" anything (to the
gullible!!)
