Of course, Tecs thinks that Poincaré was smart or something

REGURGE for a real slobber:
The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living.
Jules Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) French mathematician.

I add a quick reminder that Einstein's theory is of an unsurpassed beauty, is useful, and is also in a geometry Poincaré thought would be too complicated to bother with.
