What physics textbooks say about magnetic attraction is very far from being "trivially" true. It's a wealth of utterly non-obvious information resulting from centuries of scientific research.
Also, "cucumbers" is not an answer to the question you posed.
So you are telling me, you know the answer to my own question better then its author :)
I'm curious why do you think magnets repel? What terms would you use to describe it? How these terms are defined? What terms in turn are used in these definitions? How these terms are defined in turn? etc.
