I never liked the idea that someone is left or right brained. Everyone should strive to develop BOTH sides, and if you look at the really successful people out there, MIT physicists and novelists and what not, that's what they do.

Amen!

And it's not that unusual to find a research scientist/martial artist who is helping teach piano to his son.

Well put, TSDguy.
