As an engineer I fully agree. Engineers¹ aren't even able to do basic arithmetics. I even cannot count to 10.
¹ Except maybe Electrical engineers. They seem to be quite smart.
Engineer here, I can definitely count to 10 tho
0 1 10
0 1 everything that comes after is simply summarizes as "many"
Electrical engineers are the ones that use j though (because i is used for current)
I am used for current
Yup, I can count just fine to the 10th number in a zero-indexed counting system: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white.

10? That’s the name some put to 1e1, right?
Having worked with electrical engineers, some of them are quite smart, the rest have lead poisoning.
The inner machinations of an electrical engineer is too complicated for me to understand, I think they might be thinking on a higher order to understand these circuits
Thats why I barely passed my electrical engineering class lol
