No its common sense   Whether or not one believes that a person topic banned in natural sciences should just assume that he has to go back to the committee and ask whether mathematics is covered thats a power issue and not an improvetheencyclopedia issue Wnt talk  am  November  Saturday  days ago UTC No its simple common sense If youre topic banned for editing mathematics articles even if that topic banned is poorly worded as to suggest you are not topic banned for editing mathematics articles simple common sense suggests you should seek clarification as to whether your topic ban really isnt intended to cover what you were banned for instead of just presuming it isnt and gettign in to edit wars in that very same area again If Brews was an idiot perhaps it really wouldnt occur to him that when he is topic banned for editing mathematics articles his topic ban may actually be intended to cover mathematics articles But the info we have is he isnt In fact the only reason this became an issue is because Brews clearly isnt an idiot otherwise he would have just assumed natural science does cover mathematics However the problem is he was trying to be too smart by half since as I said wikipedia has never liked those who try to get around things by technicalites due to poor wording when its clear to everyone involved that the wording was just poor
