Immoral Algebra

When a dishonest seller uses their finger or hand or some other means to tilt one side of a weighing balance to make the left and right sides of the scales look balanced to cheat the customer—a weight balance is often used as a metaphor for an algebraic equation.
God, the Great Mathematician, dislikes immoral algebra, but delights in accurate weights or honest scales.
