This reminds me of JVN at IRI several years ago, standing near the 148 pit, facing a student. He had his arms folded across his chest, one eyebrow was raised, and he shot a faint glance in the direction of the 'bot. The student turned and began fixing some problem that I couldn't see.

That was a mentoring moment.

John is very likely the author of the passage Taylor mentioned above.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
