Hackworth was a forger, Dr. X was a honer. The distinction was at 
least as old as the digital computer. Forgers created a new technology and then 
forged on to the next project, having explored only the outlines of its 
potential. Honers got less respect because they appeared to sit still 
technologically, playing around with systems that were no longer start, hacking 
them for all they were worth, getting them to do things the forgers had never 
envisioned.
