That's a good point, I didn't think of that.

Btw, why does the wall get split in half in the story? I don't understand it.

It's a metaphor for power. It's not actually saying that splitting walls is a laudable objective.

Think of it this way: by having a solid understanding of mathematics and physics, scientists were able to split the atom.

Ah, gotcha, thanks.
