Re: [math-fun] the real reason for twisted ropes

This comment may be based on a lack of understanding of how Wikipedia works. Anyone who wants to be an editor is welcome to be one -- i.e., is welcome to modify (almost) any article any way they see fit. (There is a rule that says that each claim must be backed up with a published reference. These rules are not typically followed in all cases. If not, someone will probably add a notation like "reference missing".) --Dan On 2013-10-26, at 4:30 PM, Henry Baker wrote:

It's too bad that the Wikipedia editors are such jerks; these would be good points to add to the article on Rope.
