Well stated. Except I'd replace
/ignorance/ with /innocence/
in the last sentence, because scientists
do not usually,
generally, or habitually ignore
anything. They do
demonstrate an innocence about honest
questions, and from
what I've read of Einstein's life,
sometimes about daily
life as well.
Cheers,
