The greatest compliment you can receive about your alpha source isn't "You're a genius." It's "That shouldn't be possible. I'm disillusioned to live in a world is so inefficient."

Of course, you should never hear either response because you should never flaunt these discoveries in the first place.

This is good. The illusion is probably resilient enough that you could even point your discovery out and most people wouldn't acknowledge it unless forced to.
