A physicist is sleeping in his bedroom. He sees a fire burning in one corner of the room and a bucket of water in another corner. He puts out the fire and goes back to sleep. The mathemetician wakes up and says, "Ah, a solution!" He then goes back to sleep without doing anything. The FreeBSD team wakes up and says, "Let's audit the entire house for fires, termite damage, worn carpet, and scratches in the walls -- starting first in the kitchen." They then go back to sleep.
