Ok, Barney, here's your flame! (Don't want you to feel as if your tome 
went unread).

Erudition, above and beyond!, BUT, so what?

Is such introspection really necessary? Hell, I walk out of an 
exposition of fine art or photography that I don't understand or care 
to understand, shrug my shoulders, and say to myself, or anyone brave 
enough to accompany me, "That's life"!, and, "Whatever starts your 
engine"!
