That's interesting. I'd seen Arnold's work on teaching mathematics, and I'm very much aware of the dry formalism in Bourbaki books. However, I was not aware of the Arnold-Serre debate.

But the thing that really caught my eye here is your claim that there were visible effects of Bourbakism polluting mathematics.

Do you have any examples or specifics of that "visible effect". My question is a genuine one, not a challenge to what you are saying.
