Was that supposed to be coherent or relevant? Are you lost?

If you're going to be snarky about units, at least get the significant digits correct. The infographic gives 100°F as the temperature. If I had to guess I'd say that wherever that number came from, it's precision is much less than a whole °F, but for simplicity let's just say that the precision is a whole number, no decimal places in the precision. At that precision 37.5°C and 38°C are both also 100°F. There are 9/5 °F for every °C after all. If you'd said 37.7°C I wouldn't have even commented. But that was one decimal place too far (and being too lazy to find the ° symbol or type out degrees).

You're all probably saying, "Who cares? Why do you care? Aren't you just being any even more annoying pedant?"

I do. I don't know. Probably.

But, if you're going to be a smartass, you better at least try to be smart about it.

Blue pizza just like aunt Beru used to make.

What a convincing argument. I didn't realize you had the authority to just decide.

It's an optical illusion. By definition their isn't generally anything YOU would call erroneous about any optical illusion, I'd guess. The fact that the text is difficult bordering on impossible to read at some angles is the perceptual error. Stop ignoring obvious interpretations to support your pedantic trolling.

That's an unhelpfully restrictive definition of illusion that is itself illusory. An illusion is also:

A sensation originated by some external object, but so modified as in any way to lead to an erroneous perception; as when the rolling of a wagon is mistaken for thunder.

The text is hidden or revealed through a change in perspective. That is the illusion.

How is a zig-zag numbering any less valid than any other method? Your mapping a two dimensional space with what is essentially a line. Sometimes it doesn't make sense for there to be discontinuities in the numbering, as one would have to do if the numbers always incremented in the same direction. Would you prefer that the numbers follow the path of a Hilbert Curve?

To answer your question though, surveyors have been using this method to number sections of land for much longer than you or I have been alive.

Because vector graphics take up much less space. That's the joke.

Now I'm going to put the joke out of it's misery.

Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I've ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it's not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.
