Poetry or cricket?

[undyingking]

For once I'm actually going to present the results of one of these polls. You may remember a few days ago there was a post about Steve Smith, which asked about relative familiarity of cricket vs poetry. Well, this is what it came out like:



(The paler colours represent more limited familiarity ("know a bit"). Strangely, there was no-one who "knew a bit" about both cricket and poetry (so-called "CP violation")¹.)

CP violation. CP Snow, that is

CP violation is when a literary writer knows science to the point at which he can cite the exclusion principle correctly without making a reaching metaphor to something in everyday life which is not described by the exclusion at all (or mixes it up with Schrodinger's cat and/or the uncertainty principle, and expands that/either/both to include/metaphorize everyday non-quantum-scale events).

It is something that never happens.
