Hi Martin,
Good question and great quote from Albert! I kind of think the latter is the case. I was working with a software engineer once, he was debugging code and failing badly after hours and hours, it was late and I got frustrated with him and told him to stop messing around and that he knew the answer already. There was a look of shock on his face, he typed a few lines and immediately fixed the problem. We both looked at each other lost for words. He asked me later if I knew the implications of what had happened, I said something like - 'yeah it means we can go home and get some sleep!' It was only later I really got what he meant.
