<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="FR" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Although today's powerful computers allow computational chemists to generate data without much effort, it is easy to produce so many
numbers that we lose sight of the really important questions. In quantum chemistry, as in many other areas of science, the most important advances come from new conceptual insights, not new numbers. It is therefore essential that we continue to seek deeper
understanding. ("Give us insight, not numbers" -- Charles Coulson, 1960)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
