Thanks for that. Shaw said that reasonable men* attempt to adapt themselves to
the world, while unreasonable men attempt to adapt the world to themselves.
Therefore all progress depends upon unreasonable men.

*Clearly there were no women back then, so men had nothing better to do than to
coin aphorisms...

I like to see myself as a madly unreasonable man, but that is, of course, a
complete delusion. I'm just some bloke doing a little research project...
