Btw i spend a few years in medical ( read medically qualified), spend 6-7
years in maths department ( research in cryptanalysis), have wide and
varied interests. Decent understanding of computational neurosciene and
many related areas ( almost a researcher). So going by my views doesnt
imply it is a generalisation ( btw i have quite atleast a couple of
friends who are researchers in area which overlap the person in question -
who have similiar views), so i guess i am possibly a tiny minority.
