I mean, maybe if your background is mathematics this would make sense. But for a lot of us it isn't, we're more linguistically oriented and we certainly are not going to come up with some pure mathematical formula that describes a problem, but we might describe the problem and break it down into steps and then implement those steps.


Step-by-step computation is very close to step-by-step reasoning, which is math.


What does "linguistically oriented" even mean?

Can you give an example of how you "linguistically" approach a problem?

I mean, even in math, description of the problems are written in natural language, but they have to be precise.
