No, the point is that the anecdote accurately bashes how SCIENCE is
taught, and how the scientific method is pretty much lost in current
science teaching (except in my classes, of course g), but in his
concluding paragraph, he bashes how New Math is taught. Math is not the
same subject as science, and as far as I could tell from the story, the
clever student appropriately used math in all his solutions. A math
teacher would have had no problem whatsoever with any of his applications,
rebellious or not.

Well, there you have it! I know very little math, and even less SCIENCE.
