Alas, you have allowed yourself to be blinded by your hatred.
Tricksy is not the same as lies, which is different from deceit - at least in this context - even though they are related. In the same way, you are not your mother, even though you are related.
Tricksy: in this context, difficult or hard to grasp, though it can also be used in context to sentient entities, giving it a different contextual meaning; occasionally un-intentionally hiding the truth; usually, but not always, when done by sentient creatures, this often is intentional, but when done by systems, this is merely a non-sentient sign of difficulty, requiring care to be taken when undertaking particular tasks for the sake of accuracy
Lies: intentionally replacing truth with falsehood; this cannot be done un-intentionally, and thus can only be done by sentient entities with purpose and intent
Deceit: in this context, that which makes a thing appear differently than it is; this may or may not be intentional; usually, but not always, when done by sentient creatures in conversation, this often is intentional, but when done by systems, this is more often merely a non-sentient sign of difficulty, requiring care to be taken when undertaking particular tasks for the sake of accuracy
Of those, the only truly negative is lies - the other two are simply features, not bugs.
It seems that your Linguistics skill is slipping due to having accidentally fallen into a Barbarian-rage - is there anything I can do to help? A cup of chamomile, perhaps, or humor, or soothing or intellectually stimulating music?

You are, of course, making the classic mistake of taking a statement and twisting it to support your own point, when that point was already disproven.
Correct: math can be tricksy.
Incorrect: that your initial interpretation had anything to do with what I actually said; plus your suggestion that it was there to generate positive understanding of my statements (rather than general detraction of math) as indicated by, "I understand what you meant." - likely a literal or technical truth, but subversive (and thus incorrect; i.e. it is the very double-speak that you suggested I was using) due to strong association with the concept that "math is evil"... though if you would like to persist in your view that math, at least as a high concept, is, in fact, evil, there are support groups for such concepts! They generally believe that the earth is flat, though, so... there's that.
Hence, you can be correct on a single aspect, yet still incorrect: as noted. This is not double speak, but rather straightforward use of English, as a language in common understandings that has now been explained to rather rediculous lengths.
I am afraid your hates for math has led you toward rather common logical fallicies, my dear friend!

the roundness of the earth does not disprove math's inherent evil, I have a theory that it displays it, but I am not ready to share that theory yet.
You know, when I was in Yosemite a couple weeks ago, craft beer was cheaper there than in my store. Yea, like 10 cents cheaper, but still. Don't know whether that reflects on Yosemite or my company more (it dossn't reflect on San Francisco, because our prices are California wide).

There are few things more entertaining than a cat stubbornly trying to convince you that it's enjoying itself, no matter what.
It would be a gorgeous day outside (69 degrees, not a cloud in the sky), except for the constant 15 mph wind, with gusts up to 25 mph. So of course, stuff is blowing all over the place.
Our little fluffernutter, bound and determined to show us that she loves the warm sunny weather, and could we please make more of it for her, has been outside on her lead all day, determinedly moving from wind shelter to wind shelter as leaves, bits of furniture siding (long story), twigs, and whatever else blows maniacally around the yard.
Every hour or so I go out to check on her.
"You still OK?"
"Mew!"
"OK. Whatever. Enjoy."
I've never seen a cat looking so miserable and trying to act so happy...

You will, I hope, pardon my ultimate skepticism, until proof is forthcoming - unlike those who unilaterally reject math (and, as a corollary, science derived from it), I like to see proof before accepting a matter on general principal, especially if it involves something so important and generally useful that it's fundamental to my (and your) everyday life! ;D

If we draw a random card from a full deck of 52 cards, what is the chance the card drawn is higher than one of the five cards I have on hand drawn from another full deck.
Aces counts as 1. Figures count as 11, 12, 13.
This is a card problem, not a math one, really!

ROTFL
Heck if I know.
But, uh, there are some clarifications that need to be made: is the deck refilled before each draw - wait, I misunderstood, I thought it was multiple draws, it starts at multiple cards.
Anyway, it's basically 1/52 for any given draw (unless cheating is going on); but now you have five cards, so you've - wait, you're looking at higher than, not equal to.
... dang it. I should stop trying to answer questions while watching a movie and talking to my kids, I keep misreading what you're asking.
Okay, um... do suits change the value, or no?
Here, I'unno.
It's very similar to five-card poker, on the surface (five-card draw, or even five-card stud), but it changes the narrative extensively, because you have no way of knowing which cards are no longer available from the deck.
Anyway, presuming no difference in suits:
- you've a 4/52 chance of being any number 1 to 13
- you've five cards that can vary between those
- the higher the value of your five cards, the lower the chance of success over-all; but the reverse is also true, so that may either average out or wash out... I'm not sure, as I never focused on statistics, but it seems like, in general, it would be 1/13...
... so (4/52)*5*(1/13) = (4*5*1)/(52*1*13) = 20/676? -> 10/338 -> 5/169?
Anyway, from elsewhere on the linked site:
So anyone really feel like doing math for me?
I like math, but my ADD has decided my concentration needs some time to itself for personal exploration, tap dancing-while-using-cymbals lessons, and staring blankly at a screen.
The problem: four slots, six options.
As the slots are identical, there is no real difference between A/A/A/B and B/A/A/A.
How many unique combinations?
This is strictly recreational and is in no way important to anything. I'm just trying to figure it out for my own purposes and am running up against my own concentration-wall.
According to Shiro's player, here's your answer.
And no, I haven't looked it it yet, because I'm having fun trying to work it out on my own...
... there's this which should let you check my work (which is done almost entirely in my head, on this forum, while watching Up and dealing with my kids; and not actually checking anything - salt, grains, etc.).

(This is actually just the portion of a song that he'd written as part of a Lonly Island parody - the joke being that their song was trying to be all thug and dance club and hard living, and he'd been struggling to come up with anything, but finally did after a massive PotC marathon. Over abundance of cursing aside, it's a pretty funny video. That said, it delights me to no end that this part has been isolated for his own use.)
