I've been a research scientist for 30 years and my most brilliant explanations have often been based on me getting the initial facts of the matter wrong. I got my degree in physical chem and I'm used to people asking, "why doesn't A do...B". And some chemist gives a long, scholarly explanation. Then the first person says, "no, no...I meant, 'why DOES A do...B". Without a second of contrition, the chemist now gives another explanation....:>}
You know your $hit, man. You can't fool us.
