I can't think of specific ones, I think I've read everything he wrote. But I just recall small exchanges, im many of his works, where Long or another character, would notice some scientist archetype come up with an idea, yet not care one wit about exploiting it. It was all about the puzzle of discovery, and Long/etc was often amused.
