The appropriate quote here is from Seymour Cray: "Anyone can build a
fast processor.  The trick is to build a fast system."

[In 1919, Winston Churchill] was was approached by the RAF Middle East
Command for permission to use chemical weapons "against recalcitrant
Arabs as experiment."  Churchill authorized the experiment, dismissing
objections by the India office as "unreasonable": "I do not understand
this squeamishness about the use of gas... I am strongly in favour of
using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes." -- Chomsky 1992
