You probably meant something like

I don't think andrepd would disagree with the latter. Basically, pick the clearest way to show things.
In this case, by simple inversion that'd be demonstrating things through programming, that would be more challenging to prove with mathematics.
By such a standard, the four-colour theorem would be an example of a feral peeve. However, the work of Agner Krarup Erlang would not.
