Leavitt's contributions to astronomy are extremely greater than
anything that Grice or Cullers have done so far. SETI research is a
waste of time and resources.

Most of astronomy doesn't demand that you be able to hear. Especially
collecting the fundamental data like Leavitt did.

Evidently, Saul... sight is not essential either, thanks to
this special great astronomer...
