One of the best jokes I read in this newsgroup for a long time.

Try to ask the people who simulate particle physics experiments or
process seismical data or do any other kind of serious scientific or 
engineering programming what do they think about the productivity increase
factor of Matlab for their work.

You know, not all scientists and engineers have to deal exclusively with
toy problems.
