Back in 1910, and Silvanus P. Thompson wrote: "The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics and they are mostly clever fools seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most dicult way."

This is similar to Topsy's ~"Players worried in looking good rather than being good." How did you assemble that phrase? By no means I am accusing, I seek the way that took two men to reach  the same conclusion, and how well it has worked for you throughout life.
