Essentially the claim Mochizuki is making in these first two sections is that the most accomplished and talented young mathematician in his field is an ignorant incompetent, and that everyone Mochizuki has consulted about this agrees with him. It’s hard to imagine a more effective way to destroy one’s own credibility and to convince people not to bother to try and make sense of the third section.
望月が初めの2節で行っている主張は、実質的に、彼の分野で最も熟練し、最も優れた才能を持つ若き数学者が無知かつ無能であり、さらに望月が相談した誰もがこれに同意するというものだ。
自身の信用をこれ以上失わせ、第3節をわざわざ読もうとする気をこれ以上なくさせる方法を想像するのは難しい。
