saw pretty much all these in college calculus series. often it would turn out that the error went all the way back to some hole in the student's knowledge of pre-calc topics.

I like the very first one about teacher hostility and arrogance because it is completely true. Out of 10 random professors there may be 1 that's not an asshole.

Whoops, errors in an article about errors. In "Everything is additive", he claims (x + y)^2 == x^2 + y^2 for x = y = pi/2.
