"We don't actually have to understand anything, we merely have to understand the hidden mathematical formulae secretly controlling the universe!"

I remember at first being blown away, and then, upon reflection, finding it to be a tad ridiculous. Much like I felt when I first read Von Daniken's ancient alien stuff when I was a high school freshman. Of course, it's been a few years and a few beers since I read Freakonomics, so I'm probably not the best reviewer, but those are my memories.
