Not enough disagreement in the transcripts to form camps. These are the positions taken by people with demonstrated expertise on this topic first, then by how many people heard them on it, then by VoiceRank.
The host argues that p-adic numbers utilize a different notion of convergence and distance compared to real numbers, where agreement on more digits implies being closer.
“In the 3-adics, we want numbers to be close when they agree up to large powers of 3, so that if they agree up to 10 3-adic places, then this has a distance like 3 to the -10.”
