Why should we need an English major to verify something that is
obvious (except to an arrogant troll).
As a side benefit, an English major might recognize "The gentleman
doth protest too much." as a paraphrase of "The lady doth protest too
much, methinks." from Act 4, Scene 2 of Macbeth. However, I suspect
we might benefit more from a math major to delve into the vast and
arcane, but very useful, world of fuzzy logic. See:

OTOH, an English major might expand on the definition and Norse
etymology of the word "troll". See:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/troll
"A person who posts to a newsgroup, bulletin board, etc., in a way
deliberately intended to anger other posters and to start arguments,
or otherwise disrupt the group's intended purpose."
