It seems like some of the things you've learned basically refute things taught in high schools. Would you say that's true?
edit: not really refute. But just off really really quick research it looks like group theory is concerned with having an expansive outlook such that one term can equal different things, depending on how you look at it. I feel like there should be some sort of hint in high school math that what we're learning is not the only applicable method.
