NaNs Just Don't Get No Respect

> Why would it matter what is "normal"?

It matters to me because I am curious.

Why aren't my friends that work or study chemistry writing free 
small online articles like my programmer&CS friends do? Maybe 
it's systematic differences in their brain brain? Or it's just 
more easy to talk about coding compared to botany and chemistry 
and making engines? Or maybe programmers don't know what they are 
doing? Or maybe it's just I am not looking in the right places? 
:-)
