Yeah, it seems like the premise of the cartoon, or maybe Jochen's interpretation, was that people have limited scopes of application, and the average scope of application doesn't include interdisciplinary research. But there are people who have larger scope and have a lot of fun doing interdisciplinary projects. And if an interdisciplinary group can adapt to its participant areas of strength, lots of interesting things can happen.
