[ExI] teachers

Thank you very much Bill for another point of view. I'd say that it at the 
moment rings more true to me, but I have to check out Stuarts links.

It also fills me with sadness that I do not have the mathematical ability 
to understand the math, and then translate that math into verbal ideas for 
regular human consumption. To be able to do that seems like such a 
fascinating job!

Best regards,
Daniel
