… or perhaps the title should read “QED for the QED QED”. Let me explain…
Q.E.D demonstrates its 'pig philosophy'
Q.E.D. is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum, which literally means “which was to be demonstrated”. The phrase is written in its abbreviated form at the end of a mathematical proof or philosophical argument to signify that the last statement deduced was the one to be demonstrated; the abbreviation thus signals the completion of the proof.
Q.E.D. is also the acronym for the Queensland Education Department, an Australian government institution created to manage the state educational system and infrastructure.
BUT
Q.E.D. could also stand for: question everything done as opposed to quite easily done as anyone dealing with the Education Department will attest to. How about quest for educational direction as opposed to quality education data . They spend more time deliberating about how to do it than actually doing it. Another good one is quickly ends debate and not quick editorial decisions since the department is run as an autocracy. My personal favourite and the meaning of Q.E.D. in the title is quite evidently defunct and not quite easily done.
So the Queensland Education Department is Quite Evidently Defunct.
Quod Erat Demonstrandum.
