I know. One expects these things from the French and other European types, of course. They think life is a puzzle that can be solved by the big idea - which is what has got them into so much trouble down the years. We, on the other hand, are a pragmatic people who find the idea of people being paid to sit around thinking and spouting nonsense rightly absurd.
