Should you use Word or LaTeX?

Brittany and Michael from TikTok resolve the debate once and for all

Students embarking on their careers in math, statistics and the data sciences face many decisions. One of them is whether they should learn LaTeX compiler or whether they should just stick with their existing human capital investments and keep using Microsoft Word. Same debate for LaTeX’s Beamer versus PowerPoint. America is too large a country, covering too much land mass, with too much heterogeneity preferences to expect the invisible hand to resolve it, and we know from Arrows impossibility theorem that we won’t vote our way to the truth either, so I took it upon myself to hire Brittany and Michael from TikTok to step into the debate, once again, and break it down for us once and for all.
