I not unnerstan'. Most tongue in cheek stuff is wasted on me! I took this
test one time and I was told I was practical to a fault :-) But how does
this illuminate biological principles or help us understand how the food web
works? It's just knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and maybe 1/2 dozen
people on the planet probably read the paper AND understood the mathematics.

We already know what bass eat. Now we can predict whether a prey item of
size x moving on velocity vector y at distance z is likely be sucked into a
bass's mouth. WeeHaaa! And I helped pay for this...
