I may be a leftist but whatever I say about science is based on
my personal experiences in the wonderland as one of the troops.
Not only has this been the most humbling experience I had (boy,
this mathematics is very difficult) but also has been a
laboratory to experiment with dialectics.

I guess my objection mainly derives from what Ian said:

The same goes for "financial markets" too. When people learn that
I was a "market person", most of them say, "It must have been
very exciting". "What excitement are you talking about?" I always
say. It was the most boring experience I had.

Just dp/p, that is all!

How exciting can that be?
