I like your quote at the end so much that I tried to find a stronger citation for it. The only thing I could come up with was a 12 year old comment of yours from Slashdot: https://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=115306&cid=9766... :)

Haha, thanks for that blast from the past!

The quote was by Zlatko Tesanovic, a brilliant and witty theorist who sadly passed away a few years ago. Here's a link to a page of some of his other quotes, as recorded by his students. IIRC he said the integrals quote when I was the TA for his statistical mechanics and thermodynamics class.
