Good Gracious! I must say, though, that I've worked with some young
scientists* who do think they are God's gift to the universe, and this

Back when I was in Library School, UCLA required you have two years of
Fortran under your belt before you even applied to get into the library
science program.

*The great majority of young scientists with whom I've worked have been
joys to interact with, I hasten to add.
