That's where your outlook differs fundamentally from mine. The
application *always* matters. It matters more than anything else. But we
also disagree on what "application" means. Applications are things like
selling soap and finding planets. The computer and its code are tools.

The axiomatic method of mathematics is one of the great achievements of
our culture. However, it is only a method. Whereas the facts of
mathematics once discovered will never change, the method by which these
facts are verified has changed many times in the past, and it would be
foolhardy to expect that changes will not occur again at some future
date. - Gian-Carlo Rota
