Yeah, sure.

We're using very advanced componentry here.

I also use a body-powered limb for my clinical work, which is a little bit safer to use with patients.

And I can get quite similar effects.

So there are lots of different solutions.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

And that's why it's such a wonderful field to work in.

I think I was comfortable on the periphery, you know, not the centre of attention, happy to be on the outside, looking outwards rather than inwards, I think, which is kind of a characteristic that I think defines me.

If I engage with a subject, I'd do well.

But if I don't see the underlying, the fundamental reason for something, I switch off very quickly.

Right, right, right.

So I was thinking about what words might be on my gravestone, you know, not to be too morbid, but I think the single word why would be on my gravestone.

I need to have a reason for engaging.

Oh, completely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think learning by rote is just not something I can do.

It's just not within me to do that.

They did.

Yes.
