Well, you may be right, but when I was in the AEC and intelligence they wouldn't let me take anything home to show in movie theaters. Being "well rounded" comes from teaching in second-rate universities where you have to teach a wide variety of subjects and can't specialize. I've been a tenured professor of four different subjects -- Economics, Management, Industrial Relations, and Computation -- and taught dozens of different subjects. Now I teach International Business, Global Management (how to manage the globe), Labor and Labor law, and I'm behind in my reading of all of these. At Illinois I ran a research center that designed and engineered the software for the world's largest and most powerful (and first massively parallel) computer of the day -- Illiac IV. Of course, I didn't design it myself (I mostly repaired the computer room subfloor and kept the books and lied to the government). Played a hell of lot of "Lunar Lander" and earned the rank of Starfleet Grand Commander in Startrek in between bouts of pheasant hunting and brush cutting on my farm.
