Nope. It is pointless. I cannot find the words to explain something to people who already can't understand an incredibly simplistic math formula. This was my... Best... Effort:

Streamline does not reduce energy costs by 30%, instead, it makes them less 30% as much as they would otherwise. Think of it this way, when you activate an ability the game starts at 0 energy cost, and then goes up until it has drained the appropriate amount of energy. With 30% Streamline, the energy cost stops at 77, because 30% more of 77 is 100.

but even then, putting into words what was so conciely done with math is hard. Also, how did that man read ONLY the part in notes about rounding, while somehow bypassing the entire rest of the page? He skipped over the table, he skipped over the formula... How?
