Also note that this supposedly inappropriate porn discussion quickly
degenerated into a technical discussion about median cut variants.
Undisciplined group that we are, we can't seem to concentrate on sex
but instead start daydreaming about lurid programming issues.

The key insight here is that serendipity can arise from any discussion;
trying to keep a tight focus all the time simply leads to eyestrain.
