"I wonder who really understands teens", muses Hiba Taylor - "I'm not
saying I do, but I'll admit that, on some level, Shakespeare did."

A grievous non sequitur, surely?

Because I don't understand differential calculus, it's impossible for me
to say whether or not Newton understood it. I just assume he did because
my physicist brother tells me he and Leibniz invented it. It's a bit
like that problem across the way there about glossing Shakespeare's
words with OED definitions culled from Shakespeare's Works!

I was a teenager once. However, I have never understood differential
calculus.
