-- Do you dismiss science as somehow below art!

I really do. Especially today, when "science" and "scientific" became such garbage words, and if anything is not "scientific", then it's just not right. Including art! That's why I reacted the way I did in my previous statement --  I am just tiered of  "science in art " talk. :)
Besides that I absolutely agree with what you and Linus Pauling said, and he WAS a great scientist. :)
