But nobody has made a reasoned case why all electrical energy going into a 
given computer system is necessarily converted entirely to only infrared 
radiation.  Spouting a mindless phrase like "laws of thermodynamics" does 
not equal thoughtful reasoning or make a case for anything other than 
intellectual laziness.
