Then you are wise. I was recently asked by Dan Stanzione, the former president of Bell Labs, how much of all knowledge we humans possess. I told him I though it was a very small fraction of one percent and asked why. He said that he had heard very credentialed people (read Nobel winners) claim numbers like 10, 25 and even 80 percent. He judges a person's wisdom by how *low* a number they claimed. Terry
