They are actually pretty comfy. Like, you can also buy one with a blank pillowcase if you're not into the... stuff... and they help when you're sleeping on one side.

Gravity is the weakest fundamental force, yes. At least, at relatively close distances. The advantage gravity has is that it never quite goes away, no matter how far you are.

Do the government and the police protect us, though? I'd like to request some proof of the basic premise.

(Not from you personally, but as a counter-argument)

You do need the skill to use the tools, though.

a complete novice can create professional looking pages with them

Not unless they already know what makes a page professional looking. Otherwise, how would they tell whether they've succeeded?

I mean, yeah, if you're doing college or university just to certify the skills you already have, all the power to you. I've also learned a lot of stuff despite my professors' best efforts to make it as dull as possible (which was in 2010s). But framing it as anything but means to game the broken system is not it.

Isn't the point of being at a college... to learn stuff?

Except that being good at math or being good at designing a web page have nothing to do with memorising formulas or coding. It's about being able to break down the problems into manageable pieces and applying your knowledge to bring structure to them. Which isn't something you can replicate with a tool, if you don't know how it's done in the first place.

If you know nothing about the general principles of math, you won't be able to solve problems even with tools, because you won't know which tools to use and how.
