:::Speaking as an ardent advocate of the Philosophy of Science...yes, sex is more important. Without it, you will quickly run out of scientists. And it's also more fun. —[[User:Kazvorpal|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal|talk]]) 21:52, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

::::: I'm firmly in the camp that there are multiple kinds of fun; There's the "wow that was amazing" fun of sex, the "oh wow" fun of watching that one hour lecture link all the concepts you were introduced to, the "i can't breathe" fun of cycling, and so on. Whils discovering in science might not be the "wow that was amazing" kind of fun, it's certainly the "EUREKA!" kind of fun.

I had interpreted the "aberrant behavior" of the other mehtioned types of reflectors as referring to the way they would focus the sound- a parabolic dish would focus sound into a parallel beam, annoying the entire hallway (but not any one person as much- compare sunlight coming through a window to the same light, routed through a magnifying glass, where the glass is the ellipsoidal dish); while a spherical dish would focus the sound right back on Cueball himself.

This is a slightly annoying comic because it clearly shows cueball in the first and second panels, but it show hairy in the rest. I've added  this comic to the categorys featuring cueball and hairy.

Cueball should be  made aware the reflector would work both ways [[Special:Contributions/198.41.230.247|198.41.230.247]] 17:20, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 
:He could just have the reflector stored away when he isn't getting it on. [[User:Wilh3lm|Wilh3lm]] ([[User talk:Wilh3lm|talk]]) 12:41, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 
::I think what IP above was saying was that ''whilst'' getting it on, the person at the other end could add and return their own choice of sounds (of any kind... 'advice', lists of sports results, music with positive/negative sensual vibes... I'm sure everyone can think up their own contributions).
