Well, that was my experience for much of higher education. But I meant 
more when you watch a program about string theory or something, and it 
*sounds* like it's probably really interesting... but they didn't want 
to do an hour of equations, so instead they just have arty shots of 
expensive particle accelerators and some whizzy computer graphics. And 
an analogy about ants.
