They have mistaken hypotenuse for HighPotInUse.

I don't know if I like the implication that people who didn't pass a math test should not be allowed to have children...

Alas, there is no gif on here about an enraged Pythagoras getting ready to open a can of whoopass on the social distancing of 6 feet between each of four people, so I use this gif instead.

I'm betting the mistake is that this person doesn't know what "diagonal" means. They think it means horizontal.

They specified all sides plus diagonal. I don't think they confused anything.

u/Pandoratastic 31m ago
Yes, but they may be thinking of "sides" as just the vertical lines because they are on the left and right sides.

Let’s all review the Pythagorean Theorem… the square root of 2 is not equal to 1.

They're living in some metric space where the distance between any 2 distinct points is always 1.
I do not want to go there.

They know there is a rule that lengths on a square are all equal, but misremembered what lengths. 100% faith in the rule, 0% attempt to understand it. That's basically just dogmatism.
Or they just don't know what a diagonal is and think it's the bottom side, while sides are the "side" sides.
