What's so bad about saying that we *do* hard problems in this class
and that is one of many reasons the class is worthwhile; we learn
techniques for dealing with hard problems and you will that much the
better off for it. This doesn't differ much from the above as what
I'm calling a "hard problem" seems to be referred to as "would be
hard" in the above. However, the distinction is not to be scared off
by problem just because someone says it's hard, even if the someone
is yourself.
