Well, in pondering the question of whether Tenrocca should be banned, I relied on Google for a definition of "wit"

wit 1 (wt)n.1. The natural ability to perceive and understand; intelligence.
2. a. Keenness and quickness of perception or discernment; ingenuity. Often used in the plural: living by one's wits.
b. wits Sound mental faculties; sanity: scared out of my wits.

3. a. The ability to perceive and express in an ingeniously humorous manner the relationship between seemingly incongruous or disparate things.
b. One noted for this ability, especially one skilled in repartee.
c. A person of exceptional intelligence.


Idioms: at (one's) wits' end At the limit of one's mental resources; utterly at a loss.

have/keep (one's) wits about (one) To remain alert or calm, especially in a crisis.

But this caused me much anguish, as he clearly fails on several of the above definitions.

I've decided however, that given he made a choice of using an LS engine, together with only complying with definition b. above then he should be allowed to stay, despite his choice of occupation.

I never did like my teachers.
