Hope for what? Magic?

By "magic" I meant the development of technology that was heretofore
unidentified, not some false illusion by a conjurer. I agree with the
essential need for "clever application of established theory ... [etc]" as
you so eloquently stated.

In that sense, the IC was magic. (Sorry if I seem to liken technology too
much to magic.)
