Babbling bull****.


I'm sure it is to you.


....and to me...


There are those who think, and there are those who know.
Those who think, can achieve understanding by putting all the pieces
together.

Those who know, can't assemble the pieces, because it their skill to
simply collect vast numbers of units of knowledge.
The knowledgeable are therefore skillful at maintaining the disassembly
of the big picture.
To them, an assembly is nothing but Babbling bull****.
