True. I'm not slamming engineers (my dad was and engineer and two brothers are engineers). But I have noticed quite a few seem to go over to the dark side.
I think it was Arthur Clarke who wrote a story about the endarkening bulb that cancelled light. Obviously the work of an engineer.
I could be confusing this with his story about the noise cancelling device. I wonder if Bose is paying him royalties on their headphones.
