Pure academic work left little to discuss, because in this field, talent and luck both counted for something. If one had to put it into words, there were only four: diligent study and deep inquiry. When scientists exchanged ideas, they discussed things like inspiration and trains of thought. The technical field was different, though—two engineers always had plenty to talk about.
