In theoretical computer science, it is easier to verify a correct solution than to generate a correct solution (P vs NP problem).

wh-what? I — there’s just so much wrong. is this the maximum information density of wrongness? the shortest string that encodes the most incorrect information? have these absolute motherfuckers just invented and then solved inverse Kolmogorov complexity?
