The reporting on this whole event has been very irritating. So little technical information is being reported properly, so it’s not even clear what the operations actually were.

What do you expect? Journalists are people who didn't have the brains to study science or engineering in college.

Oh...?

My wife received a National Merit Scholarship to attend university, where she majored in physics and minored in math. Her graduate studies were in chaos theory and mathematical modeling of the atmosphere, though that's just from trusting what she tells me--her publications seem like just a bunch of equations. :-)

And...she's a damn good newspaper editor-in-chief, with awards both for herself and her staff's work.

OTOH, you might be close to the truth...I think that we scientists are those who didn't have the brains (and ethics deficit) to just go into something unproductive, like spurious tort-law litigation.

So, the only thing an intelligent person does in college is science or engineering. Right.
