One important thing to notice, is that notwithstanding the numeric
ration of pieces of kit, the telescopes etc. are staffed by
people with a significant clue in math and science, whereas at

with below-average IQ.

Common sense says to isolate the hard proplem to the few&smart
rather than the many&dim...
