You don't ask "why"? Yes, that's what we've been
saying. In your society you have various strata, power and pay
for various positions held. The man who measures packages at the
post office, not required to EXPLAIN WHY these procedures are in
place whereby he can refuse a package that overall has
measurements that exceed 108 inches, does NOT get the same pay as
the Post Office manager who must explain WHY to the patrons. The
one is considered a dummy just following procedure and NOT
THINKING. The manager is expected to THINK, on occasion.
Are you telling me that your vaunted scientists do not THINK?
