Hmm... I can't put my finger on it, but I tend to quite dislike such useless 
statements. This one is useless in the sense that if it's false, then maybe we 
can do our best to do it anyway and probably learn lots on they way, and if it's 
true, then we should of course try. But we can't learn if it's true or false 
without trying. So, it mostly boils down to a theoretical wiseguy comment of no 
practical use whatsoever.

Thanks for the Maxwell lesson however. :)
