Software Engineering discussion

This dialog was entertaining. It reminded me a little of the classic "Who's on first?!" dialog.

It was also a nice lead in to the next chapter by setting up statements of truth and contradiction.

I started to think my "Who's on first" comparison was terrible. Then I started to see how it has some real similarities:
1) One party knows what the case truely is.
2) One party is confused and asking questions.
3) The confused party is convinced contradictions exist.
4) True meaning is difficult for one party to grasp.
5) Comedy happens (emerging property?) as a result of perceiving from my point of view.

These 5 points could be used to describe scientific exploration too.

1) The Universe knows the answer.
2) People aren't sure and investigate.
3) People see mixed observations that seem contradictory. (Light acts as particles and waves.)
4) Conclusions are difficult to make and really understand.
5) Comedy happens looking from a 10,000 ft view: A) World flat versus round. B) Marie Curie showing off radioactive material at parties.

In keeping with the self-reference and recursion themes, I noticed my 5 point model can describe itself a little bit:

1) The Universe knows if this model is accurate.
2) I wasn't sure this model made any sense, so I thought about it.
3) Some of this model's observations make good sense; some details don't always follow.
4) I wouldn't conclude this model is worth teaching to anyone, and I can understand if I have explained this in a confusing way for others to understand.
5) Finding a connection and comparing a Scientific Method model with "Who's on First?" has some humor.

Very clever :)
