Hiya Loonies...

For an academic, it's not enough that something be obvious, it must be
demonstrably so...

IT'S SO OBVIOUS

Science has a language of its own which sometimes puzzles laymen. The
word "obvious" is a case in point.

Thus a professor of physics, deriving some profound point of theory for
the class, scribbled an equation on the board and said, "From this, it
is obvious that we can proceed to write the following relationship..."
and he scribbled a second equation on the board.

Then he paused. He stared hard at the two equations and said, "Wait a
while. I may be wrong..."

He sat down, seized a pad and started to write furiously. He paused for 
thought, crossed out what he had written, and began over. In this
fashion, half an hour passed while the class held its breath and sat in
absolute silence.

Finally, the professor rose with an air of satisfaction and said, "Yes,
I was right in the first place. It is obvious that the second equation 
follows from the first."

- Isaac Asimov
