There is a lot of propaganda about opera singers not being able to act. That's not necessarily true and hasn't been true for a very long time.

You know what a lima bean does when it's attacked by spider mites? It releases this volatile chemical that goes out into the world and summons another species of mite that comes in and attacks the spider mite, defending the lima bean.
