ACKNOWLEDGMENT The author thanks the U. S. NSF for rejecting every proposal he has submitted since 1987. Not needing to renew grant support and with little prospect of obtaining it, he has been free to pursue curiousity-driven science.

The punchline is that repeated rejection freed the author from grant-writing and allowed him to pursue curiosity-driven science, making it a reaction to bureaucratic frustration or unconventional research.
