I've seen that silly grin before my strikers went to the rail to feed
the fish.

"Esoteric and abstract" is in the nano-tech embroidery added to a
common occurrence. Simply put, if you cannot explain the Casimir
effect (I note you appeal to others through links) in terms other than
mine of energy and wavelength; then your rejection is a wan flick from
an effete wrist.
