"It is Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool…

...than open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

Somebody ought to let Calvin Floyd in on that.

“If scientists can send a radio signal to a robot on Mars or on a moon of a more distant planet to order its movement,” he asks, “then why don't we require small-arms and rifle manufacturers to install chips right into the grips and stocks of weapons that will radiate a detectable signal?”

Because it’s a monumentally stupid idea, Calvin. But I’m sure the politicians and cud chewers will love it.
