Is this a Gallic-style apophthegm that sounds profound but means nothing, or could it really be that there exists some sense in which what you say is true? Me, I'd like to have a theory that explains everything. I find it hard enough to build decent theories that explain *anything*; explaining everything seems infinitely too much to pray for. --And.
