Yo dawg, I heard you like redundant, so I put some redundance in your redundant so you can redundant while you play at inventing redundant technology!

People who are incapable of comprehending the ramifications of certain scientific realities probably shouldn't be pushing the boundaries of such realizations in the first place. There's room for only a finite amount of curiosity in our matrix.
