AND Ivan suggested that cross-disciplinary learning would be a good thing:
hooray for electronic bath houses, because getting cross disciplinary
learning going (that is, taken seriously and implemented into curriculum)
is TOUGH in an educational institution, for that very notion. However,
Darwinian selection may just deselect universities, if (g)Newt has his
way. perhaps with some reason, though I find the solution draconian, and
more of the "toss the baby with the bath water" than of the "bath house,"
electronic or otherwise!
