If this topic proves anything, it's that we should make sure everyone is assuming the same thing before discussing, or clarify before discussing.
You can literally come up with different answers without further clarification.

Those were good times. (I don't remember when, maybe in Linear Algebra or an engineer or philosophy course.)
