I do know the quote about "any sufficiently

wasn't it?

I remember the quote, I've read Arthur, it may also have been Isaac Asimov
(now there was an ego!) in his foundation series.



The quote is one of "Clarke's Laws". The other is something about "When a
scientist says something in his field of knowledge is possible he is most
probably right, and when he says something is impossible he is most probably
wrong". It's stated better than I have here.

I'm a big Clarke fan.
