	Yes, it must be very difficult for you.  You're talking
nonsense, first of all.  Geometry came from building things.  They
learned how to measure things to get definite shapes, thus stronger
and more appealing structures.  Then they could build anything they
wanted. First on paper, and the math transferred to reality.  These
are observations, not inventions.
