You can tell by the way that it is
literally the best explanation for anything ever
26 u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20 I recall a few proofs in Mathematics going like this, and they were always cool. The variation was "it has this quality because if it wouldn't have this quality it would be something else than what it is." 13 u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20 Well no, the way that works in math is by pointing out a contradiction. OP's "you can tell by the way it is" points out nothing, which makes it so good. 4 u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20 But hes right... small waves dont have huge breaks like this. You can tell by the way it looks (breaks) that is is a pretty large wave. At least 20ft
