A harmless mathematician

 So, I have recently learned that as a mathematician I have no weapons, of course somewhere in the arsenal , which I guess you can imagine that like Plato's Cave, there is.   Anyway, I always thought that my main weapon was the Classification Theorem, but apparently not.   

So apparently it's a theory.  So that means that a mathematicians weapon is a theory, which I do not know if that theory is provable but ,,,,, I do know that classification is connected to symmetry, but the issue of structure, seems a bit obscure, and so .. as far as I know a theory based on an obscure probably undefinable whatever it might mean, does seem both clever and well, maybe confusing.

So what is my point here ?  Well if a theory based on structure is a weapon, it vaguely seems to me that , it's some kind of loop hole , which is probably definable.  Of course I know almost nothing about it, and I am therefore --- quite harmless --- .  But I do have a large number of pencils.
