[ExI] Human brains better tooled up than monkeys

[jameschoate at austin.rr.com]

Artists use tools all the time, I'd expect them to light up.

I'd be more interested in how it effects theoretical physicist, astronomers, and other brainy types who can't seem to get a good grasp on the concrete....always loosing something or other, never on time, having problems with seatbelts, etc. Those who choose fields where the most complex tool interface they deal with is pen/paper (keyboard/display).
