ok, ok, I'm back ...
here's a proposed taxonomy of technical results / scientific papers:
a technical result is a(n)
elegant/ugly
solution/non-solution to a(n)
difficult/easy
problem/non-problem.
We all hope (imagine?) to be producing elegant solutions to difficult problems, when more often we create ugly non-solutions to easy non-problems.
Is there any part of the science landscape not fitting onto this chart ?
