I'd.. probably use the calculator app before I do all this mental gymnastics

This is not mental gymnastics.

This is a coherent method and makes a lot of sense.

Mental gymnastics is when someone has to lie to themselves to make a point that isn't correct. Like when people argue that trump was a good president because they can list several good things he did.

Or when people claim something is mental gymnastics when it's actually called maths.
