I think people's ability to imagine scenes, and then render them, are two very, very, very different skill sets. In fact, have somebody render the scene right before your very eyes, or even try to render bugs bunny from the image they

All this may be true, however, it may also be one of the reasons that Europe has not been a bigger player in the software revolution. The specialness and associated pay that Silicon Valley places on software engineers is at least partially
