Where is it demonstrated that one obtains the differential of an infinite series by taking the differential of each term? Nothing is easier than to give instances where this is not so.
Sometimes it's easier to love people when there is a healthy distance between us.
It's a lot easier to stay idealistic if you don't sign two to five next-of-kin letters every day.
