Two, in fact: The 9fronters are finding it a great learning experience and they're having a lot of fun. IMO this "reason" rubbish is why we haven't had systems research in far too long. As Elucid said when a student asked what was the reason for all this learning, "Give him 2 small coins so he may profit from what he has learned." So the student was given the coins and then expelled.
