peer agreement (net): +2| subtracts from the sum total of all human knowledge tout le savoir humain subit une diminution Explanation: I don't think it's helpful to take the single word "subtract" on its own. The phrase means that this person talks such utter nonsense that instead of adding to the total of human knowledge, his contribution actually decreases it. Obviously, this is not intended to be taken as a statement of truth, just as a jokey, extreme exaggeration to make the point that the person concerned talks nonsense. |
