Don't worry about offending people. Even if you do annoy one or two,
there'll be plenty of us who know to be patient :) And I don't think
Larry was actually offended; it's just that some questions don't
really have easy answers - imagine someone asking a great
mathematician "But how do you KNOW that 2 + 2 is 4? Where's it written
down?"... all he can say is "It is".
