Poincare, 1905

"Most mathematicians regard Lobatschewsky’s geometry as a mere logical curiosity. Some of them have, however, gone further. If several geometries are possible, they say, is it certain that
our geometry is the one that is true? Experiment no
doubt teaches us that the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles, but this is because the
triangles we deal with are too small. "

It's 1905, and nobody has noticed what an incredible
triumph NEG was. "Most mathematicians regard
Lobatschewsky’s geometry as a mere logical curiosity"...
Nothing about spherical triangles falsifying shabby
Euclid. Oppositely - "Experiment no doubt teaches us
that the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two
right angles". Poincare, 1905.

What has changed so dramatically during the last 100
years? Simple. Giant Guru has announced Euclid was
wrong. The history had to be rewritten to show how
unreliable, unworthy, unable to deal with the most
obvious problems we have Euclid geometry always was.
It had to be rewritten, and it was rewritten. Well done.
