Because it's sooo much simpler to look only to the corner for which no
other solution than yours are needed? Isn't that anyway exactly the
kind of science maths are?

I know of many areas of maths (including didactics -- they have a
Math. Class. number) where tex is not used. Moreover, most papers we
get here from senior mathematicians are in some fashion of plain. In
fact, the only area where latex is really growing is high school text books!
