    No, not blasphemy, just stupidity. The circle squarers, angle trisectors
    and cube duplicators are not blasphemous, just stupid. Their
    intelligence doesn't reach the level needed to appreciate their ignorance
    of the pertinent proven mathematics.

    To those can be added the halting problemists.
