Removal of ...sort of a pun ...

I am abt to remove from the article this parenthetical:

Apple Dylan was code-named Leibniz (a pun, of sorts, since

Gottfried Leibniz and Isaac Newton are credited as the inventors of calculus

).

bcz the colleague not only has neglected to explain the bizarre contention and offered no ref, but also seems not to understand how

humor as a mechanism supporting reasoning and explaining by analogy); and in the case we're discussing, the evocation of two feuding giants of mathematics in describing two automated-computation-device products from a single company is not only too lame for the Main namespace, it serves there only to mock a handy (but presumably merely mnemonic) naming choice that was presumably deemed suitable, not for the sake of humor or demonstrating cleverness, but because it saved a relative smidgen of thinking time-and-effort by employees, that might just be better harnessed in productivity. (Cleverness is selected for by evolution, not so much bcz it's amusing, as it is amusing bcz being amusing correlates with problem solving and thus with survival-promoting behaviors.) If you're amused by that, fine, but rant about on it these talk pages (as I do about this), and don't do it it in the main namespace ... unless you're a masochist, and a sociopath!
