I would submit, that knowing any concerto, literary work, etc allows you something greater than simply knowing what AIDs is, it allows you to cure AIDs (or at least try).
Just to be honest, there was a time when I felt all those squishy humanities courses were pretty worthless, now I tend to think that they train and stretch the imagination and teach you another way of thinking.
Just a thought, and as a side I'd have to say that sidelining in this thread is quite entertaining. Some of these exchanges are priceless. Also, GoP I perked up my ears when you hinted at a chem-heavy thread. I'd be interested to see where you go with that, especially in light of the opposing expertise.
