All intelligent problem solvers are subject to the same ultimate constraints - limitations on space, time, and materials.

A computer is like a violin. You can imagine a novice trying first a phonograph and then a violin. The latter, he says, sounds terrible. That is the argument we have heard from our humanists and most of our computer scientists. Computer programs are good, they say, for particular purposes, but they aren’t flexible. Neither is a violin, or a typewriter, until you learn how to use it.

I cannot articulate enough to express my dislike to people who think that understanding spoils your experience... How would they know?
