With this we can safely conclude that Markku's planet is a very nice place,
and I for one, have no further interest in disturbing the peace in his plane
of existence. We probably have much to learn from his alternate form of
mathematics, but for my part I'm not sure my puny human brain is ready for
it.

Markku, I fear that with my contentious responses I have been a poor
diplomat on behalf of the people of Earth. For this I apologize.
Nevertheless, you really should come and visit us sometime. It's a nice
planet in its own quirky way (what with its stock markets selling stock,
large numbers being greater than small numbers, and so on). Might take some
getting used to at first but I bet you'd get the hang of it.
