A thorough, detailed and irrefutable post, as usual ;)

One minor correction, though - I actually degreed in politics, of all things, with concentrations in math and CS. This was after switching out of three years on a chemistry track, so while it's not my vocation, per se, I do feel I have a reasonable background in math and science, so thank you for the compliment, my friend.

Just bumping the thread, so that I can keep track of these fascinating exchanges.

It is indeed a privilege.:-)
