Oops! I didn't see your post and posted an identical topic a few minutes ago. I will delete it.

Did you catch the scene where the E-Harmoney math wizard tried to explain why assigning values to variables in a Linear Algebra solution mapping personality traits between two individuals was an "invention" and "unique". It wouldn't be so funny if it wasn't for the fact that non-scientists/mathematicians are clueless about such claims.

No sweat

Well I am not a mathematician either but I do remember 3D matrices from High school and we did similar stuff there, just no big computer to sort it all out. (that was a good 30 years ago and definitely no invention.

I love the reduction of Beethoven's 5th at the end of the movie though. That really made me laugh
