I was a victim of New Math, and have never fully recovered. Before that you had to (try to) memorize formulas. Maybe this trig system will right a thousand years of wrongs.

If it’s a real improvement, maybe in a couple hundred years. Save your receipt.

Give that man a cigar!

Sines and cosines have a life unto themselves -- you can't just define them out of existence. Pity the poor kid who learned "Divine Proportions" in high school, with no clue that he's about to get a very rude awakening in Freshman Calculus.
