Schwartz: "A function is continuous if it doesn't lie to you." //Draws graph of continuous polynomial on the board Schwartz: "Here I am going along the graph and at x=4, the function didn't lie to me. That is, what I think it should do it did." //Makes a removable discontinuity at x=4 so f(4)=8 instead of f(4)=2 Schwartz: "Now I go along the function and I think it's going to be 2. But it's not. It's 8. The function lied to you. It is a bad function. Functions that lie are bad."
