No worries, Scott: Some of us watch Brian Greene on Nova, and enjoyed your analogy. Others of us don't recognize "Food for Thought" unless it comes in a bun with a side of fries, and will go on believing that "my job that sucks the life out of me" is the total meaning of existence because we've given up trying to think outside the cubicle. Ergo Wally-the-Hero, who thinks all the way to the coffee pot.
