I just realised the following sentence from my last mail could be
misunderstood:
" This reminds me of politicians touring scientific institutes; they are
scared to appear stupid and simply say they think something is a load of
crap."
Better expressed:
"This reminds me of politicians who tour scientific institutes and
are scared to appear stupid. If they actually think particular research
might be nonsense they hesitate to question it, for fear of being
ridiculed for not having understood it."
Similarly, critics and peers might hesitate to justly cricitise an
artistically thin technological dance performances, whereas simpler
audience members might simply find the performance unconvincing, or
children might find it "boring" or "not fun".
