At least one.. Calvin & Hobbes
say, Scientific Progress Goes "Boink"
(Possibly under the rubric that, there'e no 'serious' proposition which is immune to.. viewing from Another angle?)
Also.. 'non-fiction' is always a bizarre category, to my mentation. To further confuse - often such basic principles as seem unarguable (once you have grokked them) - can be made clearer to more folks via some artful invention. The 'story' is often better than the step-by-step serial explication. Seems so.
Academia is after all, too often a proponent of the turgid, with Max Brownie Points for the obtuse, highly concentrated. Less is More? Surely a Perl Monk can grok this concept ;-)
