Hey, Bob

Last word?

Sure you can have the last word,
------as long as it's the source for that Super Frictionless Snake Oil.

Now that's worth having.

I'll cover your astringent remarks about the "Scientists" and the "Engineers".

Sure, the "Scientists" are great at finding abstract ideas without any need
for a utility.

"Engineers" take these pristine thoughts, reduce them to usable concepts, and
make things
that have some practical application to life.  Like saran wrap and licorice
whips (at least 4 things you can do with those).
