Purely rhetorical.
Why do brilliant epiphanies always come after I should be comatose?
Also, why do moments of academic brilliance (when things coalesce into something bad-ass) usually go hand-in-hand with moments of complete and utter stupidity? I'm sitting here feeling good about how this idea is shaping, and then I look up, scowl at the guy on the lawnmower (at 8am, it should be criminal) and think, "Why do they have to shave the grass?"
