Right.
I agree explicitly with the final clause of the final sentence.
To second your point about cooking, my aunt was a Master of Pharmacy (I don't know the received English phrase) of the old school, those who knew how to make medicines, not only how to dispense them.
Her definite opinion was that cooking and making medicines were very similar.

@vnikolov@ieji.de In the US, her degree would be post-grad degree in Pharmacy, which is itself a five-year graduate degree. And her scientific insights into cooking is bang-on. Ya know mate, any worthwhile endeavour, after having acquired the minimal requisite experience in it, can offer deep insights into not only that field but also into life n general. For instance, I saw loads of parallels to STEM, when I was in law school, and I saw loads of parallels to jazz theory when I was an engineering undie. Life is wonderfully complex, because it results from a composition of many beautifully simple actions and events—a parallel to mathematics, there.
