Interesting, I have often thought that there are too many things that seem "convenient". I find it "convenient" that a portable radio can be just that and the transmitting end which doesn't really need to be portable is big and bulky. I find it "convenient" that water happens to be liquid at room temperature and room temperature is just that. Very "convenient" that PN junctions behave the way they do. And so on. A friend of mine has mentioned that we just captalise on certain behaviors and make things work for us, which we do, but I just wonder. All just too convenient.
