This person thinks it is easy to cook good french-fried potatoes. I think they are wrong, because they omit an essential step: take them out of the oil and allow it to reheat. Of course, our idea of what constitutes a “good” fry might be different. Our understanding of how to cook certainly is.

I told him about the famous coffee pot web cam (and maybe, also, about the link to the Coke machine).“Isn’t that great,” I said, “that you can see whether there’s coffee in the pot without having to leave your computer.““But you could just get up and look.““Well yes, but the coffee pot could be anywhere in the world.““What’s the point of that? You can’t go and get a cup of coffee there.““True. But it doesn’t have to be a coffee pot. It could be, oh, anything.““I just don’t see the point.“Of couse he went on to produce a highly acclaimed series, and much else besides.
