That was great! Stupification that it "isn't enough" is echoed in one of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:

"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?"

Started reading Ian Stewart's Letters to a Young Mathematician, and after a moving description of the optics of rainbows he gives the "Storm" types what-for:

"People who make such statements often like to pretend they are poetic types, wide open to the world's wonders, but in fact they suffer from a serious lack of curiosity: they refuse to believe the world is more wonderful than their own limited imaginations."
