The article is not fit for publication in a mathematical journal, it is cosplaying as math.

> The following simple proposition may be well known, but since no reference is known to the author, a proof is included for completeness.
>Proposition 7.1. N(µ, σ1) is more variable than N(µ, σ2) if and only if σ1 > σ2.
>Proof: [lots of lines]
In a real mathematical paper, this claim would not be glorified into a numbered proposition, and it would not merit a proof; this amount of mathematical work is the distance between one line and the next. I would not even expect students to provide a proof for such utter trivialities in a homework assignment.
Author should have submitted to PNAS instead, or written a blogpost.
