"They can go outside in the middle of a rainstorm, and they can just look at the raindrops and give you the exact chemical compositions of everything in the raindrop, but they don't understand why they're getting wet." -- Anonymous

That's cuz wetness is an emergent property and we don't really understand how it is that emergent properties aren't physical but they feel physical... oh. wait. right, yeah. sorry.

That's why people like you need people like me to smile, nod, say "That's interesting," and insist you wear raincoats.

They know when to wear raincoats, can explain why why one gets wet but still they will not trouble themselves to understand chemistry. Worlds apart.
