Einstein offered a seminar one day
to describe the elaborate beauty of his calculations.
The bean counters came, having heard of the importance of
this work.
They sat for a while, confused,
until Einstein said something that reminded them
of something they had once dealt with. Then they could
interject
with complaints about irrelevant and trivial issues of basic
arithmetic,
lecturing Einstein about tedious problems he was already
familiar with,
which were solved long ago, and Einstein left
having been unable to conclude the exposition of a single
point
due to interruptions, while the bean counters left
congratulating themselves on having set straight a cheap
charlatan.
