Teachers already know that errors or falsehoods are rarely found in homework (except in those exercises where a fixed result must be produced, or propositions must be translated one by one). Rather, what is more frequently found -- and worse -- are nonsensical sentences, remarks without interest or importance, banalities mistaken for profundities, ordinary 'points' confused with singular points, badly posed or distorted problems -- all heavy with dangers, yet the fate of us all.
-- from Difference and Repetition, Gilles Deleuze, p 153
