There are right and wrong times to remove data from equations. I just 
remembered a lecture about some light-therapy that went like this:

"If you crush all the mass in the universe together, you end up with 
something the size of a football. So, there really is _very_ little mass 
in the universe. All that's left, when you've taken out that little 
mass, is light - and that's where our light-therapy comes in."

Please warn me when I start reasoning like that. I'll have to sober up - 
a bit.
