Most of all, I was angered by the task of finding the common features of the cock and the glass: an infinite number of common and different details can be found for any two or more objects.
I said that the cock and the glass are homeomorphic, even tried to give a popular explanation of homeomorphism on the fingers – figuratively, of course.
I was told that my answer was false and inadequate, and that there was really nothing in common between the glass and the cock.
