Indeed. I've seen that often :(( . Mediocrity is growing in the scientific
class ;((( .

Yep. Actually, it's extremely easy to recognise the scientist who is purely
scientific-minded and the scientist who hasn't forgotten art: The second
one is the one who is not forgotten and whose discoveries and publications
are useful for others :)) .

Hehe, I've never been a hard-core techie. Actually, my interest to science
has always been of artistic inclination, which may explain why I
specialised in a field where the natural phenomena studied are so often
truly beautiful :) .

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
