Context: STEM with quality gets the heads out of silicon. Clojure will be 
the central enabler. Just like we have diversity in human affairs, so too 
ought computing be multi (disciplinary, hetero, …).

Funny thing. I just started to read an article arguing that (near) brute 
force with a human-in-the-loop can beat elegance. We saw that the 'elegant' 
went bonkers (vertigo). That is, in KBE (more later). So, we put in 
interrupts to help huge/long-running numeric bits get out of some local 
infatuation (cat chasing its tail). Thereby? We cut through hard problems 
and supported engineers doing real work.
