Steve, 

One can dink around from a standpoint of knowledge in search of answers. 
These are not the ones I alluded to in my commentary, of course.  Dinking 
is not a shunable offense.  Scientists rarely consider themselves as 
dinkin' around.  (they do it though)  We all dink around.  Some do it 
aimlessly.

  My wife tells her friend I "putter" around in my lab.  I take no 
offense, as it suits her understanding of what I do and and gratifies her 
and her friends.
