WHAAA?!?....I'm no expert, but even I know that's downright nutty. How about transistors, lasers, etc.? Pretty hard to engineer modern solid state gizmos and lasers without an understanding of quantum mechanics. Chemists have to know the subject, too. Many modern medical breakthroughs depended on an understanding of QM.
You mean you read the paragraph two before that one and you still thought it was serious? :-D
