Yes, exactly. These are topics that 99% of legit mathematicians don't know or care about.

It's like saying "I'm a computer expert" when you only know Python, and then a computer engineer that designs CPUs starts laughing at you

I don't understand the point of your comments.

My claim is that mathematics as practiced by mathematicians is not as rigorous as they think it is, and infact they're not even aware of the advances in rigorous mathematics that they're not using. Even though those advances are super important.

What important discoveries have you made using your supposedly "more rigorous" mathematics?
