No email in your profile so I'll write this here:

Thank you for your counterpoint, I wished I'd studied some branch of physics so I could have joined your ranks, alas all I could do to stay afloat was to use the one skill I have, to program computers which put me more on the path that PG prefers but I still see there is plenty of validity in humans working in larger groups and feel this blog post is one that really made its point poorly. Best regards, Jacques.

I'm actually a mechanical engineer! So for sure there is a whole spectrum of science-ish people here, not just physicists. In fact, programmers are central to much of the science that CERN does, starting with 'Trigger' which actually decides and filters out which minute fraction of all collisions are actually worthy of human attention.
