How else could one explain such ignoble pursuits as the complex engineering required to fabricate a strapless evening gown; the effect of playing gentle music on a farm to influence the rate of growth of a cornfield; housing rats in cages with tennis balls as a model to study infidelity in man... and numerous other observations that have been generously funded with tax money.
