Well, then you shouldn't have brought it up, should you have? Seems to me
that it's kind of unkind to ask for (implicitly, explitly, whatever) a
scientific explanation of magic, then turn around and smack the explainer
in the face with a dead otter.
Well, Gurth. Now I have to go recover from that slap in the face. Maybe
I'll have the strength to read on in the list later this week. I hope
you're happy with yourself.

P.S. Another good reason to not apply science too much would be just to
keep the mystery in magic.
P.S.S. Yes, this was a joke.
